A 20-month-old girl is in a serious condition due to Type A influenza associated with pneumonia, the Health Bureau (SSM) said in a statement last night.
According to the statement, the girl began to have a fever and cough on Thursday and was taken by her family to the private Kiang Wu Hospital for outpatient treatment on Friday, after which she was prescribed Tamiflu and allowed to return home.
On Sunday, the girl was taken to the private hospital again as her condition had not improved and she was short of breath. She was hospitalised after receiving treatment in the emergency department, the statement said.
