| 2009 H1N1 (Swine) Influenza • The CDC has confirmed cases of a unique strain of H1N1 influenza virus in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. None of the current cases have reported direct or remote exposure to swine. Spread of this influenza virus is thought to be occuring in the same way that seasonal influenza spreads, from person to person through coughing or sneezing. People may also become infected by touching something with influenza viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. • The symptoms of H1N1 influenza in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal influenza and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people with this influenza have also reported diarrhea and vomiting. Like seasonal influenza, H1N1 influenza may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions. • If you think you are ill, avoid close contact with others as much as possible. Stay at home, do not go to work, school, or travel while ill. Call your primary care doctor first before going to the hospital. Seek medical care if you are severely ill (such as having trouble breathing) • To help prevent illness: Avoid contact with ill persons. When you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue. If you do not a tissue cough or sneeze into your elbow. After you cough or sneeze, wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand gel. • To help prevent the spread of influenza avoid crowded situations, avoid face-to-face contact less than 3 feet away, and stay out of enclosed spaces that contain crowds. • If you have recently visited Mexico or areas in the U.S. where H1N1 (swine) influenza cases have been confirmed and develop H1N1 (swine) influenza-like symptoms within seven to ten days after your return, it’s important to consult your health care provider.
