Singapore - Singapore on Wednesday reported two more fatalities related to H1N1 influenza. A 13-year-old boy suffering from epilepsy died of a prolonged epileptic seizure with influenza H1N1 infection as a contributing factor, the Health Ministry said.

The other victim, a 55-year-old man with an advanced motor neuron disease, died of severe pneumonia and H1N1 influenza.

The country recorded its first swine-flu death at the weekend when a man with underlying heart problems died.

There are currently 75 confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza being treated in Singapore hospitals.

The city-state reported its first case of H1N1 influenza on May 27.
