Symptoms of the Novel H1N1 flu are mostly in the respiratory system including cough and runny nose, and sneezes. It aggravates underlying chronic respiratory diseases such as Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and emphysema. It can have secondary bacterial infections associated like bronchitis, and sinusitis, and in the more severe cases, pneumonia and respiratory failure.

Which organisms does the H1N1 affect?
It will affect mostly mammals and sometimes birds.
What tissues are affected by the H1N1 virus?
Mostly the mucous tissue in the respiratory system, but mucous tissue in the gastrointestinal system is also affected.
What virus causing respiratory illness?
There are many different viruses that can cause respiratory illness. One that has been in the media is H1N1, also known as the swine flu.
What is the most common type of flu?
H1n1
Can you have H1N1 09 without a cough?
It is possible but less likely since the respiratory system is attacked by the H1N1/09 virus. In very early stages of the infection you may not have a cough. See the links below for related questions about the symptoms of the pandemic flu and for a link to a web site for a self assessment tool.
What types of cells are affected by Swine Flu?
The major cells affected by influenza viruses, including swine flu H1N1/09, are those in the respiratory system mucous tissues.
What are the effects of H1N1 vaccines?
The effects are to make you immune to the virus by stimulating your immune system to respond to the tiny amount of virus in the vaccine and build up a defense for if you are ever exposed to the virus in the "wild". The way the effects are created by vaccines is described in the related question below.
Which is NOT a common communicable disease?
Migraine Headaches
Commn diseases associated with respiratory system?
THE COMMON RESPIRATORY DISEASES ARE -COMMON COLD, COUGH, ASTHMA, CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE ( DUE TO SMOKING ), TUBERCULOSIS (ESPECIALLY IN INDIA), PNEUMONIA, PLEURAL EFFUSION, LUNG CARCINOMA ETC. The respiratory system is a group of organs that help you breath. Therefore it consists of the airways, ie, nasal passages, the trachea (windpipe), the lungs, pleura (pleura is the double membrane covering of the lung and respiratory muscles. Diseases of any of these parts are termed as respiratory diseases. They can be grouped into -congenital anomalies (present since birth), acquired diseases, and tumours. CONGENITAL ANOMALIES (NOT SO COMMON)- agenesis or hypoplasia of lungs or its lobes, tracheal and bronchial atresia,stenosis, trabeoesophagial fistula etc. ACQUIRED DISEASES- asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, hypersensitivity pnemonitis, pulmonary edema, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary haemorrhage, Good-pasteur syndeome, pleural effusion, pneumothorax etc. TUMOURS- benign and malignant tumours of the lung, pleura and various metastatic tumours.
How does H1N1 virus act?
It acts like most viral diseases and infections act. It gets in your body and starts reproducing. This will cause an immune system response to fight it as a foreign invader (if you have an otherwise healthy immune system). Before your body can fight it off, you will get the symptoms that the virus causes when it infects your individual cells. H1N1 is an influenza virus that affects your respiratory system first.See the related questions below for more detail. The Lytic Cycle is how a virus enters your cells and attaches to them to insert its DNA/RNA and make the cells replicate/reproduce the virus.On the lighter side:Most viruses are a bit stilted in their acting performances on stage. H1N1 did a miserable acting job in Shakespeare's Hamlet: overacted and quite awkward in the monologue.
Is there a vaccine for the common cold?
No. There is a vaccine for the flu and H1N1, but not for the common cold. But all you need for the common cold is TLC and a little bit of orange-flavored Delsum. :)
What is the most common threat to the human body from an invading virus?
Swine Flu or scientifically pronounced (H1N1)
