Flu causes fatalities in Belarus 16:32, 12/01/2004, Itar-Tass
Acute respiratory viral infection and pneumonia caused deaths of two children and an aged man in the Belarusian capital Minsk.
The chief of the Minsk centre of hygiene and epidemiology, Yelena Fisenko, told reporters Monday that post mortems and virological studies would determine precise causes of the deaths.
The rate of influenza and acute respiratory viral infection has somewhat stabilised in Minsk after Christmas.
The disease incidence has returned to a pre-epidemic level last week, but medics forecast a new increase of it in the Belarussian capital and in the whole republic.
According to official statistics, every fifth resident of Belarus is ill with influenza every year.
Seventy people have died of influenza over the past ten years.
