GENEVA, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- At least 6,071 people worldwide have been
killed by the A/H1N1 influenza as infections continue to increase
quickly in the northern hemisphere, the World Health Organization
(WHO) said in a latest update on Friday.

Of all the deaths, 4,399 occurred in the Americas, 661 occurred in
South-East Asia and 498 occurred in the West Pacific. The other three
WHO regions, Europe, East Mediterranean and Africa reported 300,137
and 76 deaths respectively.

The WHO, which declared the A/H1N1 flu as a pandemic in June, said
the total number of lab confirmed cases worldwide is now over482,300,
but this case count is significantly lower than the actual number of
cases that have occurred because many countries have stopped testing
and reporting individual cases.

Intense and persistent influenza transmission continues to be
reported in North America without evidence of a peak in activity, the
UN agency said.

In Europe and Central and Western Asia, pandemic influenza activity
continues to increase across many countries, signaling an unusually
early start to the winter influenza season. Intense and increasing
influenza activity also continues to be reported in East Asia.
