BATON ROUGE- ?A woman from the Greater New Orleans area, a man from the Houma-Thibodaux area and a woman from the Lafayette area are the latest confirmed deaths related to H1N1 flu, the state Department of Health and Hospitals announced Tuesday.

The three deaths bring the total of H1N1-related deaths to 14.

The DHH said it would not release other information about the victims to protect their privacy.

"The losses we have seen in our state seem to be consistent with national trends," said DHH Secretary Alan Levine. "We strongly encourage those with pre-existing conditions to contact their medical provider for advice immediately, as they are more likely to develop severe complications from H1N1."
