28-year-old man has died of swine flu at a hospital in Mizoram's Mamit district, making it the first death from the pandemic in the state, officials said.
The report of the throat and swab samples of C M S Dawngliana, who died on Sunday, today revealed that he was infected with H1N1 virus, health department officials said.
The victim was suspected of contacting virus when he took his relative to Aizawl Civil Hospital for treatment in September. Dawngliana was the fourth person in the state to be infected with the virus.
