EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - An Evansville hospital is awaiting tests to confirm whether a nurse who died was ill with H1N1 flu.
Danna Fortune, 53, of Boonville died Friday at St. Mary's
Medical Center, more than a week after being admitted with flu-like
symptoms.
Hospital spokesman Rick Peltier told the Evansville Courier
& Press there are no indications Fortune had been in contact
with any patients hospitalized with H1N1 flu. She was a nurse in
the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit.
The health officer in southwestern Indiana's Greene County also reports that a death last week was its first related to H1N1 flu.
That person's identity wasn't released.
A health care battle is heating up in Washington and here in Indianapolis.
