Jaipur, Jan 28 (IBNS) A sudden spurt in the incidence of swine flu has claimed 27 seen lives over the past one moth in Rajasthan and 100 people are still battling the dreaded viral disease in different hospitals.

Reports said on Wednesday that two patients affected by the H1N1 virus died at Jaipur's Sawai Man Singh Hospital on Tuesday. Once of them had come to the city from Nagpur for treatment. The other victim was a 72-year-old resident of Jaipur.

According to doctors swine flu cases have so far been reported from 25 out of the state's 32 districts.

State Health Minister Rajendra Rathore said, "We are worried. A team from Delhi has come here and taken samples; we are having this investigated".

However, Dr K C Meena, additional director of rural health said patients were responding to Tamiflu, a scheduled drug for the disease and there was nothing to panic. "Even if there is a mutation, it is very minor because patients are responding to the same medication," he said.
