A woman who was 5 months pregnant died of the A(H1N1) virus in a Stara Zagora hospital at the end of last week.

She had earlier been treated in a private clinic in the home town of Sliven. The initial diagnosis was that she was suffering from sinusitis.

When her condition deteriorated, she was transferred to Prof. Stoyan Kirkovich hospital in Stara Zagora, where she later died, according to BGNES.

Samples sent to Sofia for analysis returned a positive result for the A(H1N1) virus.

This becomes the third recorded death caused by the virus in Bulgaria.
