Answers
A human respiratory infection caused by an influenza strain that started in pigs.
Swine flu was first recognised in the 1919 pandemic and still circulates as a seasonal flu virus. Swine flu is caused by the H1N1 virus strain, which started in pigs.
Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, chills and body aches.
Typical treatment includes rest, pain relievers and fluids.
A virus that binds deep in the lung can trigger potentially fatal pneumonia if the person infected mounts a strong inflammation in response to it.. The last H1N1 pandemic in 1918 was notorious for causing such rapid, viral pneumonia, which can kill within hours.
