A Davis County woman died from the H1N1 flu July 24, bringing the total number of flu deaths in the state to 17, according to Utah Department of Health data released Wednesday.
It's the first H1N1-related death to be reported in two weeks.
Health Department spokesman Tom Hudachko said it is unknown whether the woman, who was between the ages of 18 and 39, had any underlying health conditions.
Of the 17 people who have died in Utah, none were pregnant women. A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study published in the journal Lancet showed nationwide, pregnant women represented 6 percent of the H1N1 deaths, even though they only make up 1 percent of the population.
The number of H1N1-confirmed cases of the flu, meanwhile, was 294 -- the same since the Health Department's last H1N1 report on July 29.
From April 15 to July 24, states reported a total of 43,771 confirmed and probable cases of the H1N1 flu. Of these cases reported, 5,011 people were hospitalized and 302 people died, according to CDC data.
The federal agency has since discontinued its counts.
