The Hong Kong government says a 73-year-old woman diagnosed with swine flu has died, bringing the Chinese territory's death toll to 11.
The government says the woman was admitted to a hospital Friday and died the same day after treatment with an antiviral drug.
A government statement released late Saturday says she also had a history of thalassemia, a form of chronic anemia.
Hong Kong has recorded 13,693 swine flu cases.
