H1N1 kills 6 people leaves 14 critically ill in greater Houston area
HOUSTON – Health officials say there have been six confirmed deaths from H1N1 in the Houston area recently, WFAA sister station KHOU 11 News confirmed Thursday afternoon.
That includes the four deaths at Conroe Regional Medical Center.
At least 14 people have become critically ill in Harris, Montgomery and Jefferson counties, including the four patients at Conroe Regional Medical Center.
One North Texas man died in Euless this month of H1N1 as well.
This is the same strain of H1N1 that caused a pandemic in 2009. Doctors have been seeing hundreds of new cases recently in Texas and nationwide. In fact, H1N1 is one of the viruses included in this year’s flu shot.
Health officials from all over the region spent Thursday afternoon in a conference call comparing notes about all the cases. They suspect that all of the cases at the Conroe Regional Medical Center are H1N1, or what used to be called the “swine flu.”
Jeesh I hope not from my reading of this story they seem kinda worried.I guess I better get me a shot.
