A 28-year old woman, suffering from swine flu, successfully gave birth in a city hospital. The woman also overcame the life threatening viral disease, a statement said on Tuesday. According to health experts, pregnant women are more prone to swine flu which is much more life threatening to both mother and the foetus compared to any other individual. Only 10 percent of such cases can be controlled. The patient was admitted to the department of chest medicine at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital on January 25 when she was 29-week pregnant. When she was diagnosed, she had fever with cough and progressive breathlessness, which are the absolute symptoms of swine flu. Her X-ray examination showed bilateral pneumonia and decreasing oxygen saturation level which required very high oxygen support. Tamiflu, a medicine to combat swine flu, was started. Her H1N1 RTPCR was positive.
