The young student and some other schoolmates developed fever and other flu symptoms during a military training -- a compulsory training for freshmen at Chinese universities -- in the past week in the Daxing District in suburban Beijing.

The student was sent to a district hospital Monday as the physical condition deteriorated, but died Tuesday.

More than 3,000 freshmen from the university attended the military training starting October 22, and 28 out of 71 who had a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius had tested positive for A(H1N1) flu, the health bureau spokesman said.

"The health and education authorities have ordered the university to enhance prevention measures and quarantine the patients. Currently, they are all in stable condition and no severe case has been reported," he said.
