The swine flu virus has claimed its first victim in the UK, after a female patient died in a Scottish hospital.
The victim is understood to be a woman aged 38 who gave birth prematurely while being treated at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.
The death is the first outside the Americas, where more than 140 people have died since the pandemic began.
Swine flu has now infected almost 500 people in Scotland alone, out of 1,261 cases in the UK.

isn't that quite old news? She died a few weeks ago: followed a few days later by the child
Also, isn't every county in Scotland now affected? D+G reported a couple of cases about 10 days ago, and I think that made it the final one in Scotland
