Swine flu has apparently claimed a victim in Armenia. The Ministry of Health has confirmed that a 51-year-old man with A/H1N1 symptoms died at Yerevan’s Nork infection hospital last Friday.

Armenia’s chief infection specialist Ara Asoyan told ArmeniaNow on Tuesday that although the deceased was hospitalized with swine flu symptoms, it is early yet to confirm the cause of death. He said it could take up to three weeks before they could either certify or disprove that suspicion.
