A 45-year-old male resident of Ayutthaya province succumbed to complications from several diseases Saturday and was suspected to have become the latest victim of the type-A (H1N1) influenza. Health authorities, however, kept the number of fatalities unchanged at 15.

The Ayutthaya resident was admitted to hospital last Monday after four days of high fever, with multiple symptoms, including high fever, pneumonia, high blood pressure, malfunctioning kidney and heart, and leptospirosis, said Dr Paichit Varachit, deputy permanent secretary for public health.

He added that an initial test showed the man had the type-A (H1N1) virus.
