The death toll caused by the A/H1N1 influenza rose to 125 in Mexico after one more death was reported, said the authorities Thursday.
The Mexican Health Ministry said some 52 percent of the dead were female, and the death toll accounted for 0.9 percent of all the confirmed infections in the country.
The confirmed infections, which saw a "considerable" rise, reached 13,646, said the ministry.
The number was 1,125 more than that of two days ago due to a re-outbreak of the epidemic in the southeastern region of the country, it said.
So far, all Mexico's 31 states and the capital have reported cases of the disease, most of which were found in Chiapas, Mexico City, Yucatan, Tabasco, Veracruz, Jalisco, Guerrero, San Luis Potosi and Michoacan.
