EGYPT: First swine flu death confirmed

Los Angeles Times
A 25-year-old woman became the first Egyptian to die of swine flu after she caught the H1N1 virus while on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, the Egyptian Ministry of Health announced. Samah El Sayed Selim flew to Mecca in early July and days later was diagnosed with the virus. She didn’t respond to medical treatments in the kingdom and returned to Egypt last week.
