Zagreb (AFP) Jan 13, 2011
Five people have died of swine flu in Croatia and neighbouring Bosnia this season, while hundreds have contracted the virus, the authorities in both countries said on Tuesday.
A 46-year-old man infected with the H1N1 -- swine flu -- virus died in a Zagreb hospital, the national public health institute said. The man was obese and suffered other chronic disorders, a doctor told AFP.
It was the third death in Croatia from swine flu this season. The first victim died in late December.
So far laboratory tests have confirmed that some 300 people have contracted the virus in the Balkan country.
In Bosnia, a 55-year-old man died in a hospital in Tuzla, the second this season, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Some 20 people with swine flu symptoms were hospitalised in the capital Sarajevo, Tuzla and the northern town of Banja Luka, local media reported.
The World Health Organisation declared the swine flu pandemic over in August, more than a year after the virus that emerged in Mexico sparked panic and killed thousands of people around the world before fizzling out.
