Most of the deceased had comorbidities: NMC officials

Nagpur: The city has several referral tertiary care centres, where swine flu patients are wheeled in. The case tally has touched 161 this year so far.
One city resident died of H1N1 influenza infection in August, two in July, and one in March this year, taking the city’s actual toll to four. Those who died included one 37-year-old individual, while the rest of the three deceased were above 60 years.
Civic health officials said the deceased mostly had comorbidities and were immunocompromised individuals. They added that the case tally and death count are higher because of the lack of adequate healthcare facilities in other parts of Central India.
Nagpur, having good public and private hospitals, receives patients from entire Vidarbha and neighbouring states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
