    Types Of InfluenzaTy

    pes Of Influenza

    VirusesViruses

    There are three types of influenza viruses: types A, B,and C.

    Seasonal influenza outbreaks can be caused by eithertype A or type B Influenza viruses.

    Only type A influenza viruses cause pandemic.

    Influenza type C viruses cause mild illness in humansbut do not cause epidemics or pandemics.

    Subtypes Of Influenza VirusesSubtypes Of Influenza Viruses

    Only type A is divided into subtypes.Subtype designations are based on the

    presence of two viral surface proteins(antigens:

    (hemagglutinin (H and neuraminidase (N.

    To date, 16 different hemagglutinin and 9different neuraminidase surface proteins

    have been identified in influenza A viruses.The H protein type (116 followed by the Nprotein type (19 (e.g., H5N1.

    History Of Influenza PandemicsHistory Of Influenza Pandemics

    Historically, influenza has caused

    outbreaks of respiratory illness

    for centuries, including three pandemics

    (Worldwide outbreaks of disease in the

    20th century. Three different subtypes

    (i.e., H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2 havecaused pandemics in the 20th century.

    Prior Influenza PandemicsPrior Influenza Pandemics

    The 1918 influenza pandemic, caused by

    subtype H1N1 viruses, resulted in death for

    an estimated 500,000 U.S. citizens and as

    many as 40 million people worldwide. The 1957 (caused by subtype H2N2 viruses

    killed an estimated 70,000 .

    1968 (caused by subtype H3N2 viruses killed

    an estimated 34,000 U.S.

    Seasonal influenzaSeasonal influenza

    Seasonal influenza or flu refers to

    periodic outbreaks of acute onset viral

    respiratory infection caused by

    circulating strains of human influenza

    A and B viruses. Itoccurs most

    frequently during the winter months

    when the humidity and outdoortemperatures are low (generally from

    December until April.

    Prevalence Of Seasonal FluPrevalence Of Seasonal Flu

    Between 520 percent of the population may beinfected annually. Most people have some immunityto the currently circulating strains of influenza virusand, as a result, the severity and impact of seasonal

    Influenza is substantially less than during pandemics.Seasonal influenza is responsible for approximately36,000 deaths and 226,000

    hospitalizations annually in the United States.

    The risk of death is highest among the elderly,

    the very young, and patients with cardiopulmonary

    and other chronic conditions.

    Clinical Presentation ofClinical Presentation of

    Seasonal InfluenzaSeasonal Influenza Seasonal influenza typically has an abrupt onset,

    with symptoms offever, chills, fatigue, muscle

    aches, headache, dry cough, upper respiratorycongestion and sore throat.

    The time from exposure to disease onset is usually

    1 to 4 days, with an average of 2 days.

    Most patients recover within 3 to 7 days.

    In adults, fever usually last for 2 to 3 days,

    but may last longer in children.

    Cough and weakness can persist for up to 2 weeks.

    Vaccination Against SeasonalVaccination Against Seasonal

    FluFlu

    Every year, a trivalent influenza vaccine

    is prepared in advance of the

    anticipated seasonal outbreak and itincludes those strains (two type A and

    one type B that are expected to be the

    most likely to circulate in the upcomingflu season.

    Pandemic InfluenzaPandemic Influenza

    A pandemic is a global disease outbreak.

    A flu pandemic occurs when a new influenza

    virus emerges for which people have little orno immunity, and for which there is no

    available vaccine.

    The disease spreads easily person-to-

    person, causes serious illness, and can

    sweep across the country and around the

    world in a very short time.

    (Phases 35 a novel influenza virus causes human infection with

    a new subtype, but does not exhibit efficient and sustained

    human to- human transmission.Once a new influenza A virus develops the capacity for efficient

    and sustained human-to-human transmission in the general

    Signs of swine flu in pigsSigns of swine flu in pigs

    S.Flu outbreaks in pigs are common, especially

    during winter months.

    In pigs influenza infection produces fever, lethargy,

    sneezing, coughing, difficulity breathing anddecreased appetite.

    In some cases the infection can cause abortion.

    Although mortality is usually low (around 1-4%, thevirus can produce weight loss and poor growth,

    causing economic loss to farmers.

    Can people catch swine flu fromCan people catch swine flu from

    porkpork?? The 1918 flu pandemic in humans was associated with H1N1

    and influenza appearing in pigs.

    This may reflect a zoonosis either from swine to humans or

    from humans to swine.

    Although it is not certain in which direction the virus was

    transferred, some evidence suggests that, in this case, pigs

    caught the disease from humans.

    Direct transmission of a swine flu virus from pigs to humans isoccasionally possible In all, 50 cases are known to have

    occurred since the first report in medical literature in 1958,

    which have resulted in a total of six deaths.

    20092009pandemic in humanspandemic in humans

    The H1N1 viral strain implicated in the

    2009 flu pandemic among humans is called

    Swine Flu" because the initial testing

    showed many of the genes in the virus weresimilar to influenza viruses normally

    occurring in North American swine.

    Further research has shown that theoutbreak is due to a new strain of H1N1 not

    previously reported in pigs.

    symptoms of 2009 Swine Flusymptoms of 2009 Swine Flu"" According to the

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, inhumans the symptoms of the 2009 "swine flu" H1N1virus are similar to those ofinfluenza and ofinfluenza-like illness in general.

    Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, bodyaches, headache, chills and fatigue.

    The 2009 outbreak has shown an increasedpercentage of patients reporting diarrhea and

    vomiting. The 2009 H1N1 virus is not zoonotic swine flu, as it is

    not transmitted from pigs to humans, but from person

    to person.

    The H1N1 flu virus can spreadThe H1N1 flu virus can spread

    from person to person whenfrom person to person when:: Someone with the flu coughs or sneezes into air that

    others breathe in.

    Someone touches a door knob, desk, computer, orcounter with the H1N1 germs on it and then touches

    their mouth, eyes, or nose.

    Someone touches mucus of a child or others whiletaking care of them when they are ill with the H1N1 fluvirus

    You CANNOT get H1N1 flu virus from eating pork orany other food, drinking water, swimming in pools, orusing a hot tubs or saunas

    How is swine flu (H1N1How is swine flu (H1N1

    diagnoseddiagnosed?? Swine flu is diagnosed clinically by the patient's

    history of association with people known to have thedisease and theirsymptoms listed above.nasopharyngeal swab sample is done to see if the

    patient is infected with influenza A or B virus. Most ofthe tests can distinguish between A and B types. Thetest can be negative (no flu infection or positive fortype A and B. If the test is positive for type B, the fluis not likely to be swine flu (H1N1. If it is positive for

    type A, the person could have a conventional flustrain or swine flu (H1N1. Swine flu (H1N1 isdefinitively diagnosed by identifying the particularantigens associated with the virus type.

    TreatmentTreatment

    Most people who get H1N1 flu will likely

    recover without needing medical care

    or special antiviral medications. Checkwith your health care provider about

    whether you should take antiviral

    medications to treat the H1N1 flu.

    Prevention of human toPrevention of human to

    human transmissionhuman transmissionEveryone should take these steps to prevent the flu fromspreading:

    Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough orsneeze. Throw the tissue away after using it.

    Wash your hands often with soap and water for 15 - 20 seconds,especially after you cough or sneeze. You may also use

    alcohol-based hand cleaners.Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, to avoid getting

    infected by germs.

    Avoid close contact with sick people.

    If you do get sick, consider staying home from work or school for

    7 days after your symptoms begin, or until you have beensymptom-free for 24 hours, whichever is longer.

    Wear a facemask , if possible, when sharing common spaces withother household members

    Vaccines are available to protect against 2009H1N1 influenza.

    These vaccines are made just like seasonal

    flu vaccines.

    They are expected to be as safe andeffective as seasonal flu vaccines.

    They will not prevent influenza-like

    illnesses caused by other viruses.

    They will not prevent seasonal flu. Youshould also get seasonal influenza vaccine, if

    flu vaccine, Guillain Barr Syndrome (a severe paralytic illness also

    called GBS.These may not be reasons to avoid the vaccine, but themedical staff can help you decide.

    If you are moderately or severely ill, you might be advised towait until you recover before getting the vaccine.If you have a mild cold or other illness, there is usually no

    need to wait.

    Pregnant or breastfeeding women can get inactivated 2009H1N1 fl u vaccine.

    Inactivated 2009 H1N1 vaccine may be given at the same timeas other vaccines, including seasonal influenza vaccine.
