New Delhi, Aug 11 - Three more people died of the H1N1 influenza Tuesday, with one death each reported from Pune, Vadodara and Mumbai, taking the total number of people killed by the viral disease to 10.

In Pune, the disease claimed the life of a 13-year-old; in Mumbai, a 63-year-old was killed; and in Vadodara, a seven-year-old girl succumbed to the fever.

Shruti Gavde, who had tested positive last Saturday, died in Pune's Sassoon Hospital, barely hours after a pharmacist Sanjay Tilekar died there Monday night, an official from Maharashtra's State Swine Flu Control Room said.

A student of A.D. High School in Pune, Shruti had been admitted to Sassoon Hospital Sunday in critical condition. She died around 1.30 a.m. Tuesday, according to the official.

In the Maharashtra capital Mumbai, Shahida Warsi died at a private hospital.

'The deceased was from Thane and had been brought to Mumbai for treatment,' said Additional Municipal Commissioner Manisha Mhaiskar.

She had been brought to Mumbai's Noor Hospital in Byculla five days ago for treatment.

Officials expressed surprise that she was admitted and treated for swine flu at a private hospital that was not on the government list of facilities authorised to treat cases of the disease.
