0 Flu symptoms 2014: Swine flu is prevalent in flu season 2013/2014

And this flu season, swine flu will be one of the major circulating flu viruses. Therefore we again draw attention to this flu and review basic information about him.

Swine flu A H1N1 exhibits the same symptoms as seasonal flu. There are, however, small features, which we will outline below.

From November through December 2013, CDC has received a number of reports of severe respiratory illness among young and middle-aged adults, many of whom were infected with influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 (pH1N1) virus. Multiple pH1N1-associated hospitalizations, including many requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and some fatalities have been reported. The pH1N1 virus that emerged in 2009 caused more illness in children and young adults, compared to older adults, although severe illness was seen in all age groups. While it is not possible to predict which influenza viruses will predominate during the entire 2013-14 influenza season, pH1N1 has been the predominant circulating virus so far. For the 2013-14 season, if pH1N1 virus continues to circulate widely, illness that disproportionately affects young and middle-aged adults may occur.
