CH1N1 Background: Origins
•First detected in people in the United States in April 2009.
•Cases of human infection were first confirmed in the U.S. in Southern California and near Guadalupe County, Texas.
•The outbreak intensified rapidly and more and more states have been reporting cases of illness from this virus.
•Other countries, including Mexico and Canada, have reported people sick with this new virus.
33NA
RU
CH1N1 Background:
Symptoms & Spreading the Virus Symptoms:
• Similar to those of regular human seasonal influenza: fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing, sore throat, runny nose, vomiting, and diarrhea.
•Diagnosis requires a specimen to be collected and sent to the CDC for testing within the first 4 or 5 days of illness
Spreading the Virus
• The virus is contagious and spreading from human to human.
• Spread from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza; occasionally by a person touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching his/her mouth or nose.
• People may be contagious from one day before they develop symptoms to up to 7 days after they get sick. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.
34NA
RU
CH1N1 Background: Treatment & PreventionTreatment
•Influenza antiviral drugs work best when started within two 2 days after illness onset, but treatment with antiviral drugs should still be considered after 48 hours of symptom onset
• H1N1 is susceptible (sensitive) to two drugs: oseltamivir and zanamivir.
• It is resistant two the other two drugs approved to treat influenza.
Prevention
• It is unclear at this time whether antiviral drugs can be used to prevent H1N1
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Wash your hands often with soap and water
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
void close contact with sick people.
If you are sick with a flu-like illness, stay home for 7 days after your symptoms begin or until you have been symptom-free for 24 hours, whichever is longer.
