Seven people have died on the Costa del Sol from swine flu this year.The latest victim is a 26 year old pregnant woman from Malaga.This report has come through from the Andalucia Health Authority.

The woman was being treated in the Carlos Haya hospital in the city ,having been admitted because of breathing difficulties.She was later admitted to the intensive care unit when her breathing deteriorated even more because of complications due to the fact that she was pregnant.

Surgeons did try to save the life of the baby by a Caesarean section but to no avail,the child also died.Pregnancy seems to have an odd association with this virus and a number of pregnant women have died through complications associated with the swine flu virus.
