The Swine Flu outbreak in humans in 1976 at Fort Dix, New Jersey involved four soldiers who were previously healthy but contracted the virus. They developed pneumonia, diagnosed by X-ray, with other symptoms of the flu. One died as a result. The virus was thought to have circulated approximately a month in the close quarters of the group in basic training but not outside the group, then it disappeared.

What does Swine Flu cause?

The H1N1/09 pandemic swine flu virus causes influenza. The symptoms are the same as most other types of flu. It has caused millions of people world-wide to become sick with the flu and thousands of deaths. It is a milder disease than some other types of flu, including the regular seasonal flu that, while not the same number of cases like the more easily transmitted swine flu, the seasonal flu typically causes the death of more of those infected than swine flu has so far. In the US there are approximately 36,000 deaths from the seasonal flu each year. See the related question below for more on the symptoms and death rates of swine flu.
