Recommended Posts

 

CityNews - Somchai Sri-euangdoi (23), a former soldier at Kawila Camp Chiang Mai, reportedly died of H1N1 influenza at 1.15 p.m. on January 29th, at Theppanya Hospital.

 

It was first thought that the cause of death was a lung infection but his family asked for an autopsy and sent his corpse to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. The results revealed that the soldier had died of H1Ni/2009, which is a type of swine flu. It has been now found that 11 soldiers in Kawila Camp, and 16 other soldiers from other camps are sick and showing symptoms of flu.

 

Officials have assured the public that the virus is not likely to spread as it did in 2009 thanks to the Tamiflu antiviral pill which can heal the virus efficiently and is commonly used in army camps.

H1N1 influenza is not likely to cause death, but the soldier in this case also had pneumonia which worsened his situation.
