DHAKA, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- A ten-month infant was suspected of having died of A/H1N1 flu in Bangladesh's Parbatipur sub-district of Dinajpur district, some 338 km northwest of capital Dhaka, according to local media on Monday.

    Another 11-month-old baby has been tested positive with the pandemic disease and a pregnant woman is feared to have contractedA/H1N1 flu, according to the leading English newspaper The Daily Star.

    Swab sample from the 24-year-old pregnant woman has been sent to ICDDRB, Bangladesh's lone specialized center for treatment of diarrhea, but the report is yet to be available, sources said.

    Sources at Dinajpur Civil Surgeon's office said the ten-month infant was admitted to the Parbatipur LAMB Hospital on Oct. 28 with severe chest pain. Doctors collected his swab and sent it to ICDDRB without any delay, but he died on Oct. 29 at the hospital before receiving treatment.

    The 11-month-old baby was tested positive on Oct. 6 and left for home after recovery on Oct. 22 following the treatment, Dr Motiar Raman, civil surgeon of Dinajpur Sadar Hospital, said.

    A 35-year old female flu positive patient died in Dhaka on Aug.31 which was the first fatality the country has had since its first A/H1N1 case was found on June 18.
