One more Iowan dies of H1N1 flu

One more Iowan has died from H1N1 flu, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health, bringing the state's death toll to six.

The adult was from Marion County and had underlying medical conditions  putting the person at greater risk of flu complications, spokesman Don McCormick said.

Iowa's first death related to H1N1 was reported in August.

That person and the next two were adults from Eastern Iowa.

The fourth was a resident of Pottawattamie County in western Iowa.

The state's fifth death related to H1N1 was reported last week. That person was an adult from Mahaska County, in south-central Iowa.

Little more has been revealed about the deaths.

According to the state's surveillance system, H1N1 flu has been widespread in Iowa throughout this month.
