A woman whose husband died of swine flu here last week was Thursday diagnosed with the same infection, officials said.

“Rupal Soni has been diagnosed with swine flu, but she is out of danger,” Chief Medical and Health Officer Pankaj Shukla told IANS.

Rupal’s husband, Dr. Mukesh Soni, had succumbed to swine flu April 14.

“We had sent twenty-five samples for investigations, but only Rupal’s sample tested positive. We hope there would be no more such cases,” Shukla said.

He added that all health officials across Madhya Pradesh have been instructed to take precautionary measures against swine flu.
