H1N1 FLU SWINE PIG, symptoms, prevention, and treating HOW

Swine flu spread of H1N1 virus is currently the world community concerns. Finally WHO World Health Organization, has even raised the level of pandemic flu to be level six Pigs. Which means that the spread had occurred beyond several continents, and it is feared will be very difficult to dammed.

So what and how the actual flu virus H1N1 pig, so that its appearance was greatly feared most societies in the world, and how to prevent or even treat it.

In general, the early symptoms of H1N1 Swine flu virus has symptoms similar to ordinary flu. Swine flu virus came from family strengthening influenza virus that normally only possessed by animals pigs (in endemic). However, despite the name of 'swine flu' brought many additional fear and worry in the community, the most important thing to remember is that the swine flu virus was really just an ordinary influenza A H1N1.

In the year 2009, then came swine flu viruses are spread from animals to humans, even now happening transmission from human to human. The virus is spread right now is called the strain of influenza virus (SIV). SIV is a type of influenza C virus and influenza A subtypes known as H1N1 viruses, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.

Swine flu virus earlier usually only occurs in the western and central United States but sometimes also appear in other countries, like Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including England, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, China Mainland, Taiwan, Japan, and other parts of East Asia.

Overall, known to have occurred 50 cases of swine flu virus spreading in the world since first reported in medical literature in 1958. The spread of swine flu virus at that time had produced a total of six people died.

Of these, one woman who was pregnant, single people with leukemia, one more person Hodgkin's disease, while two others were reported in good health before he died. Although the number of swine flu infection this seems very low, the actual infection rate was probably higher than the report. But because this disease usually causes only very mild symptoms, so it may never be reported or diagnosed by a medical expert.

Swine Flu Symptoms

According to the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) as well as other types of flu, swine flu infection symptoms may include:

* High fever
* Dizziness
* Shivering
* Sore Throat
* Cough
* Colds or runny nose

* Fatigue and Drowsiness

In the year 2009 this has occurred also increased the percentage of patients reporting diarrhea and vomiting. However, swine flu virus is not considered a zoonotic pig flu virus, because it is not transmitted from pigs to human animals, but more spread through the transmission from person to person.

The signs of a more serious infection of swine flu may include pneumonia and respiratory failure. If the flu becomes pandemic, every person has the potential for this H1N1 virus.

If you experience any of the symptoms of flu but swine flu pandemic has not been announced widely, maybe you only have a regular seasonal flu.

Swine Flu Prevention

Influenza virus is usually spread among humans through the respiratory tract such as through coughing or sneezing and when people touch materials that have been contaminated by the virus, then touching your nose or mouth of their own. Swine flu virus can not spread by food ingredients made from pork meat and derivatives products, because the virus can not be transmitted through food.

Swine flu virus can be transmitted to humans during the first five days of the appearance of initial symptoms, although in some people, and most of the kids, swine flu virus can remain contagious until the first ten days. The diagnosis can be done by sending samples collected during the first five days and then analyzed.

Some recommendations to prevent the spread of swine influenza viruses among humans, including using strict standards to control influenza virus infection. These include frequent hand washing with soap and water or with alcohol disinfectant and sanitizers, especially after coming home from a public area. The possibility of transmission can also be suppressed by applying a disinfectant in the home environment and tools households.

Although current influenza vaccines used may not be able to provide protection against a new type of H1N1 virus, researchers and health professionals are developing new vaccines to counter the spread of swine flu virus was, and is scheduled to be ready in early June 2009.

Health experts agree that washing your hands regularly can help to prevent viruses, including swine flu virus. Influenza virus can be spread from coughs or sneezes. Later found evidence that even tiny droplets containing the virus can stay alive on a table, chair, phone and office equipment and other objects will be transferred through the finger to the mouth, nose or eyes.

For early prevention, alcohol-based gel or foam hand washing with soap can work well to destroy viruses and bacteria. Anyone experiencing flu symptoms such as sudden fever, cough or sore muscles should stay away from work or public transport and should contact your doctor for advice and a full diagnosis.

Maintain distance and direct contact with other people or social distancing, is also able to break the chain of spread of swine flu virus. This means staying away from others who may have first infected with swine flu virus should be done immediately. Community health centers and other authorities in charge may order or to advise of social distancing measures, but this depends also of the severity of swine influenza virus infection.

Swine Flu Treatment

If someone is experiencing symptoms like pain and reasonably suspected infected by swine flu virus, antiviral drugs are available in pharmacies can ease the symptoms of this disease and make patients feel better. Antiviral drugs may also prevent the emergence of some serious complications in patients.

For treatment, antiviral drugs should be consumed as soon as possible (maximum within 2 days after initial symptoms appear). Besides the consumption of antivirals drugs, the treatment measures that can alleviate symptoms, either at home or in hospital, should focus on the control of experienced fever and maintain fluid balance in the body.

Center for disease control and prevention of CDC recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and / or prevention of swine influenza virus infections, even though most people infected with this virus can make a full recovery without requiring medical attention or antiviral drugs.
