BANGKOK, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's public health ministry Wednesday reported two more deaths from the A/H1N1 flu, which raised the death toll from the new flu to 184.

The two new victims occurred during a period of Oct. 18 to 31, the public health ministry said.

Those, who have congenital diseases and are pregnant women, are the most risky groups, Thai News Agency reported.

Meanwhile, Paijit Warachit, public health permanent secretary, said the ministry has adjusted a system of viral drug management to ensure flu patients can access to the drug in time.
