Cambodia's health minister says a pregnant woman died from swine flu, the country's third reported fatality from the illness.
Health Minister Mam Bunheng says the 25-year-old woman went to a Phnom Penh hospital with flu-like symptoms and tested positive for swine flu.
He said doctors performed a cesarean section, and the baby was born healthy. Doctors at the hospital said the woman, who was seven months pregnant, died Tuesday, two days after the baby's birth. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
Cambodia's second swine-flu related death, a 47-year-old man, occurred Monday at the same hospital, the minister said.
