PROBLEM STATEMENT- WORLD
WHO estimates (2009)
2 billion cases
2 - 7.4 million deaths
WHO predicts worse economic disruption than past
pandemics (absenteeism may go up to 70%.)
Globally, this year influenza activity remained elevated
in the northern hemisphere with influenza A(H3N2)
viruses predominating, although some countries in Asia,
Europe and North Africa reported high levels of activity
associated with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses.

2015 SWINE FLU EPIDEMIC IN INDIA
2015 Indian swine flu outbreak refers to a outbreak of
the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus in India, which is still ongoing
as of March 2015. The states of Gujarat and Rajasthan are the
worst effected.
India had reported 937 cases and 218 deaths from swine flu in
the year 2014.
By mid-February 2015, the reported cases and deaths in 2015
had surpassed the previous numbers.
The total number of laboratory confirmed cases crossed
33000 mark with death of more than 2000 people.

WHY ARE WE CONCERNED?
(H1N1 V/S SEASONAL INFLUENZA)
Short incubation period
Subclinical and mild cases
Short duration of immunity
H1N1 - High Transmission Risk (20-30%)
Seasonal Influenza ( 5-15%)
H1N1 - young & healthy adults (20-60 yrs)
Seasonal flu (≥65 years)

World Health Organization
(11th June 2009)
Upgraded the phasing of pandemic influenza from Phase 5 to Phase 6
“A public health emergency” of international concern12

TYPE A TYPE B TYPE C
GENETIC
PLASTICITY
Undergoes mutation that can take place
within the genome (Antigenic drift) / or
re-assortment among the genetic
materials of subtypes (Antigenic Shift )
resulting in a new virus.
Antigenic Drift is responsible for new
seasonal strains that makes necessary
surveillance to detect these strains and
to prepare new seasonal influenza
vaccine (yearly basis)
Antigenic Shift may result in a new
virus easily transmissible from man to
man for which the population has no
immunity : Results in Pandemics

EPIDEMIOLOGY:
AGENT FACTORS
Reservoir of Infection:
Humans primary reservoir for human
infections.
Major reservoir – animals & birds (swine,
horses, dogs, cats, domestic poultry, water
birds, wild birds etc.)
Source of Infection:
Usually a case or sub-clinical case.19
![Page 20: Seasonal Influenza](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012405/55a965451a28ab40108b4741/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HOST FACTORS
Age & Sex:
All ages, both sexes.
Attack rates lower among adults.
High Case Fatality Ratio (CFR) during epidemic
in high risk cases.
Human Immunity
No long lasting immunity.
Antibodies to ‘H’: neutralise the virus.
Antibodies to ‘N’: modify the infection.
Antibodies appear in 7 days after an attack;
reach maximum level in 2 weeks; drops to pre-
infection level in 8-12 months.20
![Page 21: Seasonal Influenza](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012405/55a965451a28ab40108b4741/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Seasonality :
Temperate zones: epidemics occur in winter.
Tropics: epidemics occur in rainy season.
Sporadic cases: any month.
Overcrowding :
Enhances transmission.
Higher attack rates in closed population groups.
(schools, institutions etc.)21

DISEASE TRANSMISSION
Mainly airborne:
Droplet nuclei = 1,00,000 to 10,00,000 Virions per
droplet.
Through direct contact.
Transmission from objects possible.

-chest pain
-low blood pressure
-altered mental status
-worsening of underlying medical condition.

Not recommended for detecting the pandemic strain
• Serology- for epidemiological and research studies

Nucleic acid amplification test (RT-PCR)
Currently recommended test
detects A H1N1 pdm09 strain
very high sensitivity and specificity
