A 43-years old man who died late last week is the first swine flu victim in Romania, the Health Ministry secretary of state Adrian Streinu-Cercel confirmed on Monday.

The man had been admitted to a local infectious diseases hospital with moderate symptoms, but the infection worsened as the patient also suffered from obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. The man died of respiratory and heart failure in the ambulance, while he was being transferred to the infectious diseases hospital in Iasi, eastern Romania.

Health officials have recorded around 2,000 cases of the A/H1N1 virus in the country so far. They say there is no need for panic but that the situation should be taken seriously.

Romania recently ordered around one million vaccine doses, which will be predominantly administered to school students, who represent a high risk group, officials say.
