Symptoms of Swine Flu

Until recently, swine flu was traced to a virus exchange between pigs and human beings.  Influenza A-H1N1 that began to affect people in early 2009, turned into a global pandemic. Known world over as “Swine Flu”, caused by a new virus, it is in fact a combo package of several viruses present in the human body.

Initially it becomes difficult to distinguish the ordinary flu from the swine flu, because of the symptoms being similar. People tend to ignore the symptoms, until at times it becomes too late to rescue the person from fatality. If you examine the following signs of swine flu, you will agree about the similarities in both of them.

Symptoms
After the virus A- H1N1 infects your body, the body may take anywhere between 24 to 48 hours to show up the symptoms of the disease. The symptoms may include:
• Your body temperature shoots up to 41°C.
• You may experience pain throughout the body, especially back pain, which is very akin to that you experience when you are suffering from ordinary flu.
• You may experience severe sore throat and headaches.
• You will feel severely fatigued. This condition can differ from person to person.
• You will experience breathing difficulties and dry cough.
• You may have nasal discharges, which can define and determine your condition.
• At times, there may be bouts of diarrhea and vomiting.
• Loss of appetite is another symptom.

The H1N1 virus has evolved in a predictable manner. The new virus, especially, has made it impossible to assess the changes with any kind of certainty. H1N1 virus responds favorably to treatment and the patient shows recovery within a week.

We can identify the microbes of the viruses, which act like agents to carry the disease, through hemagglutination or immunofluorescence procedures.

The virus antibodies can be established through hemagglutination inhibition and radial hemolysis. Since these testing procedures take a long time to point out the cause, researchers are studying various new processes, which can identify the causes rapidly.
