THE mum with swine flu who died after giving birth prematurely was killed by the H1N1 virus, officials confirmed.

Jacqui Fleming, 38, of Glasgow, died in hospital on Sunday, two weeks after giving birth.

Her baby son Jack died on Monday but not from swine flu.

A Crown Office statement said: "The death of a 38-year-old woman, Jacqueline Fleming, at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, Paisley, was reported to the procura-tor fiscal at Paisley.

"With the agreement of her family, we are able to confirm the cause of death has been certified as multi-organ failure due to influenzal pneumonia (H1N1)."

Ms Fleming lived with her two other children -one aged 18 and one of primary school age - and her long-term partner in the family home in Carnwadric, Glasgow.

She had been in intensive care at the Royal Alexandra hospital. Hers was the first death to be reported outside the Americas where at least 145 people have died from swine flu.

Her family said on Monday it was "devastated" by the loss.

Aberdeen University bacteriologist Professor Hugh Pennington, said a swine flu death had not been unexpected but added: "It does not point to the virus getting nastier."

A further 110 patients were confirmed with swine flu in England and 22 in Scotland yesterday bringing the total to 1604. Of those 530 were in Scotland, where another 441 possible cases were being investigated.

In England, the University of Bristol will remain open, despite a case being confirmed there.
