Three people, including a woman, died of swine flu in Maharashtra on Wednesday, officials said. With these deaths, the toll due to the viral disease has risen to 10 in the state and 14 in the country.
Sanjay Mistry, 35, died in the Sassoon Hospital here early Wednesday. The resident of Pimpri, near Pune, was hospitalised Sunday in a critical condition and put on a ventilator, according to an official of the State Swine Flu Control Room.
Barely hours after Mistry succumbed to the influenza A (H1N1) infection, Shravani Deshpande, 29, died of the same disease.
Deshpande breathed her last around 3 am. She had been hospitalised here three days ago with pneumonia and later found to be suffering from swine flu. She was then put on ventilator.
