Housewife dies of dengue fever

Star: SEREMBAN: A 22-year-old housewife died of dengue fever on Thursday evening, five days after being admitted to the Seremban General Hospital.
Raja Siti Norkhalijah Raja Yusof died at 7.15pm.
This brings the number of dengue fever deaths in the state to seven.
State Health Department director Datuk Dr Rosnah Ismail said yesterday that based on initial investigations, Raja Siti Norkhalijah delayed getting treatment even though she had fever three days before being admitted.
“She was in critical condition when she came to the hospital," she said.
Dr Rosnah added that the case was the first traced to Taman Syukur, the housing estate where the housewife lived, although records showed that dengue cases had been found at a village about 100m from the victim’s house.
