Introduction About Swine flu

Swine flu (swine Influenza) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza among pigs.

Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus.

It is pandemic flu.

HISTORY OF SWINE FLUSwine influenza is not a new a disease. It was diagnosed in the year

1918 but on that time it was given other name “Spanish flu” or “La Grippe”.

Somewhat 20-40 million people died from spanish flu but it is still not clear whether the strain was swine flu or not.

In the year 1976 on

feb “06” a comrades were hospitalised and their fellow recruit died .

The causes of death came out to be a new Strain of influenza i.e.,(H3N2). Again in the 1998, this virus was found in pigs

across four US states and within a year it had spread through pigs population across the US.

In the spring of 2009, a new flu virus spread quickly across the United States and the world. The first U.S. case of H1N1 (swine flu) was diagnosed on April 15, 2009.

The CDC estimates that 43 million to 89 million people had H1N1 between April 2009 and April 2010. They estimate between 8,870 and 18,300 H1N1 related deaths

History of swine flu In India•According to mass media the first cases of swine [H1N1] flu in India was found in Maharashtra and the reality is this that it was carried by the persons staying in the infected countries.•The first fatality was a 14 year old girl from Pune. She had come in contact with 40 students who travelled from NASA in the US to Pune and though she had not travelled herself, she got the infection from them

MEANING OF H1N1

H1N1 virus is the causative agent of swine flu. The words ‘H’ and ‘N’ in the H1N1 stand for two proteins found on the surface of the swine flu virus: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). All influenza viruses possess hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, but the structures of these proteins are different from strain to strain, due to rapid genetic mutation in the viral genome.

Why is H1N1 also called “SWINE FLU” • This virus was originally referred to as “swine flu”

because laboratory tests showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs in North America.

• But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs. It has two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia and avian genes and human genes. Scientists call this a “quadruple reassortant” virus.

How it spreads Spread mainly from

person to person through droplets from nose, mouth, and by coughing or sneezing .

Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

Among animals (pigs, wild animals and birds) it spreads through DIRECT CONTACT between infected and uninfected animals.

WHO ARE AT RISK ??????

Chronic respiratory disease such as asthma.

Chronic heart diseases such as heart failure.

Chronic Kidney diseases such as Kidney Failure.

Chronic liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis.

Chronic neurological disease . Diabetes Pregnant women Older people 65 or above Young children under 5

SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN

• Fast breathing or trouble breathing • Red or grey rash on skin • Not drinking enough fluids • Not waking up or not interacting • Being so irritable that the child

does not want to be held • Flu-like symptoms improve but

then return with fever and worse cough

• Fever with a rash

PREVENTION OF SWINE FLU

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO KEEP FROM GETTING THE FLU ?

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick

• Wash your hands. • Get plenty of sleep, be

physically active, manage your stress.

• Drink plenty of fluids.• Eat nutritious food. • Try not to touch surfaces

that may be contaminated with the flu virus.

• Do not consume half-cooked pork

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 9 Avoid live animal markets, poultry

and pig farms .

If you are sick, limit your contact with other people as much as possible.

Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when coughing or sneezing.

Put your used tissue in the

waste basket.

Clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.
