HONG KONG: The Hong Kong government says a 73-year-old woman diagnosed with H1N1 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.
