DHAKA, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Bangladesh said on Monday a woman had died of the H1N1 virus, the country's first fatality from the flu strain.

On June 19, Bangladesh reported its first H1N1 case, a man who had returned to the country from the United States. Since then at least 213 people have been infected.

Experts say there will be a surge in infections with the approach of cooler weather in the Northern Hemisphere. (Reporting by Ruma Paul; Editing by Anis Ahmed)
