3. INTRODUCTION
 It is an infection caused by any one of several types of swine
influenza viruses.
 SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza
A known as H1N1, H1N2, H2N1, H3N1, H3N2 and H2N3
 Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations
worldwide
 People with regular exposure to pigs are at increased risk of swine
flu infection

4.  Swine flu viruses may mutate (change) so that they are easily
transmissible among humans.
 Vaccination is the best way to prevent or reduce the chances of
becoming infected with influenza viruses.
 The most serious complication of the flu is pneumonia.

5. Epidomiology
 Swine influenza virus was first isolated from pigs in 1919 and from human in
1974.
 In 2009 swine flu outbreak (pandemic) was due to infection with the H1N1
virus and was first observed in Mexico.
 In June 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) raised its pandemic alert
level to the highest level, phase 6.
 India confirmed its first case on 16 May,2009
 According to the data released by the Health Ministry of India,33,761 had been
infected and 2,035 person had died.

influenza virus photographed at the CDC Influenza
Laboratory. The viruses are 80–120 nm in diameter.

7. SIGN & SYMPTOMS

8. TRANSMISSION
 Swine influenza caused slightly more infections than would be
normal for an influenza season
 Coughing
 Sneezing
 Touching something with flu viruses to your mouth or nose
 People who work with poultry and swine, especially those with
intense exposures

9. COMPLICATION
 Exacerbation of underlying chronic medical conditions
 Upper respiratory tract disease - sinusitis, otitis media, croup
 Lower respiratory tract disease - pneumonia, bronchiolitis, status asthmaticus
 Cardiac - myocarditis, pericarditis
 Neurologic - acute and post-infectious encephalopathy encephalitis
 Toxic shock syndrome
 Neurologic complications with seizures
 Higher Risk Groups for Severe H1N1 Illness

10.  Effects on pregnancy:
The major adverse effect of H1N1 is attributed to hyperthermia
during the pregnancy . the risk of neural tube defects and other
adverse including neonatal seizures, encephalopathy, cerebral
palsy, and neonatal death. This might be treated with the use of
antipyretic medications like Acetaminophen and/or multivitamins
containing folic acid.

11. DIAGNOSIS
 Laboratory Test
- Viral culture
 Presence of Virus confirmed by
- ELISA(4 fold rise)
- RT-PCR
 Rapid antigen test(distinguish between influenza A and B)

12. PREVENTION
 Avoid close contact
 Stay home when you are sick
 Cover the mouth and nose
 Clean your hands
 Avoid touching your eyes nose or mouth

13. TREATMENT
1.Symptomatic treatment :
 Stay at home
 Get plenty of rest
 Drink a lot of liquids
 Do not smoke or drink alcohol
 Consider over-the-counter medications to relieve flu symptoms
 Consult a physician early on for best possible treatment

14. 2) OTC medication :
Analgesic,antihistaminic,cough suppressant
3) Antiviral drugs :
Antiviral drugs directly target the viruses responsible for
influenza infections.

15. CLASS
M2 inhibitor
Neuraminidase inhibitors
EFFECTIVE AGAINST
Influenza A
Influenza A & B
DRUG NAME
amantadine,
rimantadine
zanamivir, and oseltamivir

16. CONCLUSION
 Swine flu is very rapidly spreading disease
 People have to take prophylaxis action like vaccination , safe from
contamination etc..
 The person suffering from this flu ensure him or her will be cure very soon
 Proper medication should be taken
