Two more persons including a six-year-old girl have succumbed to swine flu, taking the death toll due to H1N1 virus infection in city hospitals to 20 since the beginning of the year.
A health department officer said a six-year-old girl, resident of neighbouring Dhar district, died at the government-run Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital.
Before that, a 61-year-old man from Gurugram (Haryana) had died Tuesday at a private hospital, but the cause of his death was confirmed as swine flu only Friday.
A total of 63 persons admitted in city hospitals since January 1 have been detected positive for swine flu and 20 of them died, the official said.
