Pakistan on Monday confirmed its first death from swine flu, after a 38-year-old hospital worker died in the eastern city of Lahore, health officials said. The man, Iftekhar, was an employee of the Social Security Hospital in the city, said Anwar A. Khan, the senior government health official in Lahore. 'He died because of swine flu and this is the first death from this disease,' he said. 'It is strange that he died from swine flu. We suspect that he met someone who was a carrier.' Javed Akram, senior doctor and head of the Allama Iqbal Medical College in Lahore, said two laboratories had confirmed the man died of swine flu. 'The patient has no past history of travelling abroad,' he added.
