what is swine flu? what is Symptom and risk factor of swine flu. ~ SAJEEL MONITOR

Introduction of swine flu:-

Swine flu, also known as the H1N1 virus, is a relatively new strain of an influenza virus that causes symptoms similar to the regular flu. It originated in pigs but is spread primarily from person to person.
Swine flu made headlines in 2009 when it was first discovered in humans and became a pandemic. Pandemics are contagious diseases affecting people throughout the world or on multiple continents at the same time.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the H1N1 pandemic over in August 2010. Since then, the H1N1 virus has been known as a regular human flu virus. It continues to spread during flu season like other strains of the flu. The flu shot developed each year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) usually includes vaccination against a type of H1N1 virus. Like other strains of the flu, H1N1 is highly contagious, allowing it to spread quickly from person to person. A simple sneeze can cause thousands of germs to spread through the air. The virus can linger on tables and surface areas like doorknobs, waiting to be picked up.

The best means of dealing with swine flu is to prevent it. Hand sanitization is important to stop the spread of the virus. Staying away from infected people will help stop person-to-person transmission.

A symptom of swine flu:-

The symptoms of swine flu are very much like those of regular influenza. They include:

chills
fever
coughing
sore throats
runny or stuffy nose
body aches
fatigue
diarrhea
nausea and vomiting.

Risk factor for swine flu:-

Some people are at higher risk for becoming seriously ill if they’re infected with swine flu. These groups include:

adults over age 65
children under 5 years old
young adults and children under age 19 who are receiving long-term aspirin (Bufferin) therapy
people with compromised immune systems (due to a disease such as AIDS)
pregnant women
people with chronic illnesses such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, Neuromuscular disease.

causes of swine flu:-

Swine flu is caused by a strain of influenza virus that usually only infects pigs. Unlike typhoid, which can be transmitted by ice or tick transmission usually occurs from person to person, not animal to person. You can’t catch swine flu from eating properly cooked pork products.

Swine flu is very contagious. The disease is spread through saliva and mucus particles. People may spread it by:

sneezing
coughing
touching a germ and cover surface and then touching their eyes or nose.

diagnostics of swine flu:-

The CDC recommends real-time PCR as the method of choice for diagnosing H1N1.[40] The oral or nasal fluid collection and RNA virus preserving filter paper card is commercially available.[41] This method allows a specific diagnosis of novel influenza (H1N1) as opposed to seasonal influenza. Near-patient point-of-care tests are in development.
