Swine influenza viruses also can cause moderate to <a title="Learn more about Catastrophic illness" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/catastrophic-illness">severe illness</a> in humans and affect persons of all age groups. People in close contact with swine are at especially high risk. Until recently, epidemiological study of influenza was limited to resource-rich countries. The World Health Organization declared an H1N1 pandemic on June 11, 2009, after more than 70 countries reported 30,000 cases of H1N1 infection. In 2015, incidence of swine influenza increased substantially to reach a 5-year high. In India in 2015, 10,000 cases of swine influenza were reported with 774 deaths. Methods: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend <a title="Learn more about Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/real-time-polymerase-chain-reaction">real-time polymerase chain reaction</a> as the method of choice for diagnosing H1N1. <a title="Learn more about Antiviral" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/antiviral">Antiviral</a> drugs are the mainstay of clinical treatment of swine influenza and can make the illness milder and enable the patient to feel better faster. Findings: Antiviral drugs are most effective when they are started within the first 48 hours after the clinical signs begin, although they also may be used in severe or high-risk cases first seen after this time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends use of oseltamivir (Tamiflu, Genentech) or zanamivir (Relenza, GlaxoSmithKline).
