3. INTRODUCTION :
H1N1 virus is an update disease , there is a lot of
research about it , so there is a several differences
on it
The incidence of H1N1 :
A total of 138 cases were reported from the Fields.

100,000 population and and 54 from West Bank,
with incidence of 4.5 per 100,000 population and
none from Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Further
analysis revealed that 55% were males and 45%
were females; the most affected age group was
above 40 years at 58%. Only 8 cases were
confirmed at West Bank, they were admitted to
hospitals with accompanied morbidities such as
diabetes and immune compromised
2014conditions.

4. DEFINITION

reaction (rRT-PCR) is the most accurate method in
detecting influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in
respiratory specimens
Chest x-ray
T lymphocytes subgroups could be considered as
progressive markers of H1N1, which were of great
clinical significance in early diagnosis, progression,
and prognosis evaluation of H1N1.
