Swine Flu (H1N1/09)

You will want to get advice from the baby's doctor before having the baby get flu shots, but infants under 6 months are not given the flu shots. From ages 6 months to age 2, it would be best to be sure the doctor agrees that the child should be vaccinated (although in most cases it is being recommended).

Swine flu had a massive impact on China's economy especially tourism. During the pandemic, tourist arrivals where lower than the year before and hotel occupancy rates were at a all time low. The import and export industry was also affected by swine flu as government officials had put a stop to exporting produce from china.

The severe upper respiratory disease caused by the influenza virus called the "flu" often produces nasal and sinus congestion. This would make the head ache and even the top of the head hurt.

No, they didn't do it on purpose.

They just got sick with the kind of swine flu they usually get but then that flu mutated together with the bird flu and some human flu strains into the Novel H1N1 (2009 Swine flu). Because pigs are very similar physiologically to humans, their genetic material was easier to change into a strain of flu that humans can get. This can only typically happen when pigs, humans, and in this case also birds are in very close physical contact, such as in a barn or barnyard. When you look at it this way, and since humans are responsible for keeping them in over crowded conditions, you might more correctly say that Humans are bad for starting the swine flu by keeping them all too crowded.

Swine Flu in Hindi is:

सूअर फ्लू Which is pronounced phonetically as: "soo-ar flu"

However, most people in India are still using the term "Swine Flu", instead of using Hindi. Much of the medical terminology acquired from English sources continues to be spoken in the English words by Hindi speaking people. The English Medical Terminology is often what is used in clinical discussions as well.

Swine Flu is a confusing term in many languages now, since there are the original strains of Swine Flu that pigs (swine) get which is also called H1N1, and now the new human virus, which was originally called the 2009 Swine Flu in English among American medical professionals when it was first discovered in late March and early April, 2009 in Mexico.

In June 2009, the outbreak had grown to pandemic proportions, and as more nations talked about it in more languages, it became known under many different names in English. Some of those names being used (correctly or incorrectly) to refer to the 2009 pandemic flu virus are: Novel H1N1 Influenza, New H1N1 Influenza, 2009 Swine Flu, Type A Influenza H1N1-09, Pandemic Swine Flu, A-H1N1/09 Virus, "Mexican Flu", H1N1, Pandemic Swine Flu and others in English. Some other names around the world include Schweinegrippe in Germany, la Grippe A in France, and La epidemia in Mexico.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is using A-H1N1/09 most often now, to try to distinguish it from the prior strains of H1N1, such as the one that pigs get, and various prior human strains of H1N1 flu viruses (e.g., the one in 1930, 1976, 1988, and even the "Spanish Flu" in 1918 was also a strain of H1N1). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using its coined name, "Novel H1N1" or Novel H1N1-09 Influenza which means "New" H1N1.

To translate some additional commonly used English names and terminology for the flu that is spreading around the world into the Hindi language, these terms were translated using Google Translate which gave the following translations (see comments in the Discussion area for credit to the provider of the phonetic pronunciations):

Swine Influenza in Hindi is :

A-H1N1/09 Virus in Hindi is:

A-H1N1/09 वायरस "A-H1N1/09 Virus"



Novel influenza H1N1 (Swine Flu) in Hindi is:

उपन्यास इन्फ्लुएंजा H1N1 (सूअर फ्लू) "up-nyaas influenza H1N1 (soo-ar flu)"



New influenza H1N1 (Swine Flu) in Hindi is:

नई इन्फ्लुएंजा H1N1 (सूअर फ्लू) "nai influenza H1N1 (soo-ar flu)"



2009 Swine Flu in Hindi is:

2009 सुअर फ्लू "2009 soo-ar influenza"



The Hindi definition of a virus is:

विषालु संक्रामक पदार्थ "vishaalu san-kraa-mak pa-daarth"

No, she does not have swine flue

It means that the virus stays "hidden" and inactive in their bodies, instead of being completely destroyed, and then can later reactivate and cause new and sometimes different symptoms.

This happens, for example, with the virus that causes chicken pox. Once it is inactive after the acute phase of that infection, it can stay that way in the body (in the nerve tissues in this example) for decades, and then reactivate and cause the nerve pain and rash that is called "Shingles" or "Herpes Zoster" later in life. It is also true that polio viruses can remain latent until decades later and then reactivate with weakness and other, sometimes debilitating, symptoms. Several viruses are able to become latent this way.

fever, chills, aches, all the flu stuff. vomiting & diarrhea for some people, mostly kids.

There is no curable or preventive treatment for HSP, except for antispasmodic drugs to reduce muscle spasms.

There have been 123 cases of confirmed or probable cases of Novel H1N1 Flu in Pennsylvania as of 29 May 2009and no deaths.

The vaccine puts dead flu cells into your body. Because the cells are very weak, you immune system can completely kill that virus. After you immune system kills the virus, antibodies are still left over in your blood stream. So, if you are exposed to the flu, the already made antibodies can kill the flu virus before it spreads and gets too serious for your immune system to overcome.

Mad cow Disease is not a flu. It is caused by different kinds of organisms called prions, not viruses. It is much more severe than swine flu since the infection is in the brain and central nervous systems of the cattle.

yes

Tami-Flu.

It would be very unlikely, most of the people who have died of H1N1 flu have been people with weakened immune systems.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "each year, in the United States, on average, 36,000 people die from flu-related complications and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related causes. Of those hospitalized, 20,000 are children younger than 5 years old. Over 90% of deaths and about 60 percent of hospitalizations occur in people older than 65."

Most otherwise healthy people who have had the flu recover with no adverse after-effects in 7 to 10 days time. Some people can have secondary infections, such as viral or bacterial pneumonia, and will require extra time and medical care to recover. Those who have underlying health conditions have a higher risk to develop complications. See the related question below for a list of those who are most likely to have complications from H1N1/09 swine flu, which also applies to other strains of influenza.

There may be some ongoing cases in limited locations around the world, including in the UK. However, the specifics and counts of cases are no longer being tracked by CDC, WHO, the US states, and most other countries, now that the pandemic has been declared over. Influenza cases are monitored, but specific H1N1/09 counts (and the lab tests needed to isolate the specific virus to be able to count them correctly) aren't being done. Influenza cases in general are monitored, but statistics are not being kept for H1N1/09 cases separately from other influenza types for reporting any longer in the post pandemic phase.

A person with Sarcoidosis not get a seasonal flu shot

Some are produced in the US, but the US may not be the headquarters of the company making the product.

If you have influenza caused by the influenza viruses (affects the respiratory system), then you might have vomiting and diarrhea but they are not typical symptoms of influenza. It was a common symptom in some people who had the 2009 pandemic swine flu H1N1. But it usually is not common with most influenza viruses. It can occur due to a related problem such as dehydration, but not usually directly due to the virus in most bouts of the respiratory flu.

If you are talking about the "stomach flu", which is really not the flu and is just called that by tradition, then it would involve diarrhea but may or may not have associated nausea or vomiting. All three, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting are the most common symptoms of gastroenteritis.

Stomach flu is not a real medical diagnosis, though. We now know that this problem with vomiting and diarrhea and mild flu symptoms of mild fever, fatigue, aches and pains that we have called stomach flu, is actually gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) and can be caused by bacteria or viruses. The most common cause of gastroenteritis in the US is the Norovirus. This is known also as the Norwalk Flu.

It is currently felt to be caused by mutations in a gene (PAHX) that encodes a protein called phyanoly-CoA hydroxylase and is important for metabolizing phytanic acid.

The spread of H1N1/09 in Texas is slowing as of March 2010, and schools have done a good job of educating parents about not sending children to school if they are sick. Therefore, no school closings have been necessary of late.

Restricted would be more of an epidemic which is only in one country. There is no restricted pandemic, unless you mean a milder one

Yes. Their final exams were canceled with the exception of major papers. No - School was not closed! Final exams were closed but school is open - the rationale is that sick students would come in to take exams and infect others! The Lower School has no final exams: business as usual, 5th & 6th grade have no final exams: also on as usual.
