What are some symptoms of swine Influenza A (H1N1)?
The signs of H1N1 in people are similar to the symptoms of regular flu, which include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue, cough, sore throat, vomiting or diarrhea. In the current outbreak, cough and fever have been the most commonly reported symptoms. In the past, severe illness (i.e., pneumonia and lung failure) and deaths have been reported with flu infection. Like seasonal flu, H1N1 may cause more serious disease in people with underlying chronic medical conditions, such as chronic kidney or liver disease, chronic lung disease (for example, emphysema), and conditions which affect the immune system (for example, HIV/AIDS or certain types of cancer). In addition, pregnant women and obese individuals have been identified as at-risk group for the current H1N1 outbreak.
