Earlier this month, the 30-year-old woman checked into "Florida Hospital" in Altamonte Springs just outside Orlando.
She was placed in isolation during her time in the hospital.
She was more vulnerable to the swine flu's effects due to high-risk respiratory complications and died on Tuesday morning.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of confirmed and probable cases of swine flu has reached 562.
