A 49-YEAR-OLD man, confirmed to have Influenza A (H1N1), was admitted to Changi General Hospital's intensive care unit yesterday.
The patient, who has diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, was in critical condition, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).
He was warded in intensive care immediately after he sought treatment at CGH's emergency department in the morning.
The patient had flu-like symptoms over the past four days, including severe pneumonia.
Two other H1N1 patients - a pregnant woman and a kidney transplant patient - are in stable condition in ICU at KK Hospital and the Singapore General Hospital, respectively.
Another 51-year-old male patient at CGH was moved out of ICU yesterday.
"If he continues to recover, he can expect to be discharged soon," said the MOH.
There are now 36 - down from 50 on Wednesday - confirmed H1N1 patients hospitalised.
