WHAT DO WE DO?• We have recorded 24 deaths • We have no Medical guidelines of do’s
and don'ts• Young people are dying-is their a pattern • Can we pick them early before they turn
sick?• Testing in few center’s-takes 4 days to get
results• Do we start Tamiflu in all suspected
cases?• Deterioration is occurring on 4th day and
death on 7th or 8th day• Where do we stand?

CHALLENGES WE FACE
• Recognition of disease
• Not to forget chikungunya & dengue
• Difficulty in Confirmation of disease
• Self protection
• Protection of people around us
• Notification
• To know more ; Are we facing the pandemic?
![Page 4: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Scenario
• Admitted suspected Patient (symptoms+ travel history)
• Sample sent for PCR• Reported positive
H1N1• What to do for patient
relatives& hosp staff
who are exposed
Patient with hemodynamic compromise & respiratory difficulty
Need for intubation-To proceed & then send sample for PCR
What to do meanwhile
Is it necessary to test all doctors & staff

Enigmatic questions
• Should we close the hospital & fumigate?
• What to do for other patients next to the case
• Should we send all suspected cases to referral hospital
![Page 6: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Subsequent challenges• Recognising in OPD- identify flu symptoms,
travel history, clinical signs of hemodynamic derangement &pneumonia/ALI/ARDS
• Proper referral to institutions handling cases
• Isolation rooms, Use of masks Hand wash
• Ventilatory management

Influenza At A Glance
• Influenza, commonly called "the flu," is caused by viruses that infect the respiratory tract.
• Influenza viruses are divided into three types, designated A, B, and C.

EARTH LIVING SPACE FOR ALL
Epidemic: An increase in disease above what is normally expected
Pandemic: A worldwide epidemic
A pandemic begins when: there is person-to-person sustained transmission on multiple continents
![Page 15: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
HISTORY
• In the 20th century there have been three influenza pandemics in 1918, 1957 and 1968.
![Page 16: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

WHO• April 24: H1N1 first disease outbreak notice.
• April 25: WHO Director General declares a formal “Public health emergency of international concern”
• April 27: “containment of the outbreak is not feasible” pandemic alert raised from phase 3 to phase 4.
• April 29: phase 4 to phase 5.
• June 11: phase 5 to phase 6.
![Page 18: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The World Health Organization uses a six stage phase for alerting the general public to an outbreak
• Phase 1 – animal to animal transmission.
• Phase 2 – an animal influenza virus is capable of human infection.
• Phase 3 - small outbreaks among close populations but not through human to
human contact.
![Page 19: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Phase 4 - Human to human transmission
• Phase 5 - spread across two countries or more in one of the WHO regions (continents).
• Phase 6 – spread across two countries or more in one of the WHO regions plus spread to another WHO region.
![Page 20: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Global pandemic
• W.H.O. identifies the following six epidemiological sub-regions.
• - African Region
• - Eastern Mediterranean Region
• - European Region
• - Region of the Americas
• - South-East Asian Region
• - Western Pacific Region
![Page 21: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

EPIDEMIOLOGY• Incubation period- 1-7 days
• Transmission
PRIMARY CASE –direct contact with pigs
SECONDARY CASES
sneezing, coughing
resp droplets
body fluids(diarroeal stool) contact surfaces
![Page 23: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Transmission
![Page 24: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• This virus is not transmitted from eating pork or pork products
• Contagiousness:
1 day onset of symptoms
7 days
Children are contagious for longer periods.
. Majority of pts were previously healthy.
Clinical course mild in PCR negative influenza.
![Page 25: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Majority of pts were previously healthy.
• Clinical course mild in PCR negative influenza.
• Pregnant women — Increased rates of spontaneous abortion and preterm birth
• Patients with swine flu were found to have increased incidence of cardiovascular & cerebrovascular events.
![Page 26: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Can I get infected with this new H1N1 virus from eating or preparing pork?
• No. H1N1 viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get this new HIN1 virus from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.
![Page 27: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Is there a risk from drinking water?
• Recent studies have demonstrated that free chlorine levels typically used in drinking water treatment are adequate to inactivate highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza. It is likely that other influenza viruses such as novel H1N1 would also be similarly inactivated by chlorination.
![Page 28: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What kills influenza virus?
• Influenza virus is destroyed by heat (167-212°F [75-100°C]). In addition, several chemical germicides, including chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, detergents (soap), iodophors (iodine-based antiseptics), and alcohols
![Page 29: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Risk factors

DEFINITIONS
• Influenza-like illness (ILI) is defined as fever (temperature of 100ºF [37.8ºC] or greater) with cough or sore throat in the absence of a known cause other than influenza
![Page 31: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Case Definitions By CDC
• A confirmed case acute febrile respiratory illness with laboratory-confirmed H1N1 influenza A virus detection by real-time reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR or culture.
• A probable case acute febrile respiratory illness who is positive for influenza A, but negative for H1 and H3 by RT-PCR
![Page 32: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
A suspected case acute febrile respiratory illness who:
• - Develops symptoms within seven days of close contact with a person who is a confirmed case of H1N1 influenza A virus infection or
• - Develops symptoms within seven days of travel or resides in a community where there are one or more confirmed H1N1 influenza A cases
![Page 33: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Close contacts• Having cared for or lived with a person
• setting where there was a high likelihood of contact with respiratory droplets and/or bodily fluids
• Having had close contact (kissing, embracing, sharing eating or drinking utensils, physical examination, or any other contact likely to result in exposure to respiratory droplets)

AGE SHIFTS IN MORTALITY
• Concept of “original antigenic sin,”by Francis - immune response is greatest to antigens to which first exposure occurred in childhood.
• Persons born before 1957 who were exposed in childhood to influenza A (H1N1) viruses might be better protected against this viral subtype than those who were first exposed to other influenza A subtypes, H2N2 and H3N2, at a later date .
![Page 37: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• During the early phase of this epidemic, the rapid identification of persons who are likely to have severe disease, as
compared with those who are likely to have mild disease, can guide epidemic or pandemic response strategies.
![Page 38: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Specimens • Nasopharyngeal swab, nasal swab, throat
swab, combined oropharyngeal/ nasopharyngeal swab, or nasal aspirate
• Swabs with a synthetic tip (eg, polyester or Dacron) and an aluminum or plastic shaft should be used. Swabs with cotton tips and wooden shafts are not recommended.
• The collection vial in which the swab is placed should contain 1 to 3 mL of viral transport media.
![Page 39: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Respiratory specimen should be collected within 4 to 5 days of illness.
• Specimens should be placed in viral transport media and placed on ice (4ºC) or refrigerated immediately for transportation to the laboratory
![Page 40: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

LAB TESTS• Real time RT PCR-confirmatory
• culture is usually too slow to help guide clinical management. A negative viral culture does not exclude pandemic H1N1 influenza A infection.
• Rapid antigen tests — evaluation of patients suspected of having influenza, but results should be interpreted with caution the QuickVue Influenza A+B (Quidel) assay (sensitivity 51 percent specificity 99 percent)
![Page 42: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Rapid influenza antigen tests & Direct or indirect immunofluorescent antibody testing (DFA or IFA) can distinguish between influenza A and B but negative test does not exclude infection.
![Page 43: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Whom to test
• Testing for pandemic H1N1 influenza A should be considered in individuals with an acute febrile respiratory illness ( temperature of 100ºF or higher and recent onset of at least one of the following: rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, sore throat, or cough) or sepsis-like syndrome
![Page 44: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Priority for testing should be given to :
Those who require hospitalization and
Those who are at high risk for severe complications
No testing if illness is mild or the person resides in an area with confirmed cases
Recommended test for suspected cases is real-time reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR for influenza A, B, H1, and H3
![Page 45: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
CLINICAL FEATURES

Can we make a broad clinical check list
• History of contact
• Younger age, sudden onset
• Fever, cough, breathlessness
• Leucopenia, raised LDH and CPK

Why Complications In young (Cytokine storm)
• It is the systemic expression of a healthy and vigorous immune system resulting in the release of more than 150 inflammatory mediators . Both pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines are elevated in serum with lethal interplay of these cytokines is referred to as a "Cytokine Storm".
• The primary contributors to the cytokine storm are TNF-a and IL-6 .
• It is inappropriate (exaggerated) immune response that is caused by rapidly proliferating and highly activated T-cells or natural killer (NK) cells.
• Bird flu patients die from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by the cytokine storm, and not directly from the virus
![Page 52: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
SYMPTOMS OF THE CYTOKINE STORM
The final result, of cytokine storm (SIRS) or sepsis is multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)
• hypotension ( Myocarditis)
• tachycardia
• ARDS acute respiratory failure
• Ischemia, or insufficient tissue perfusion
• uncontrollable haemorrhage
• Multisystem organ failure

TREATMENT• Only neuraminidase inhibitors
ORALTamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza( zanamivir) are approved to cure the viral infection.
• H1N1 is resistant to Amantadine Rimantadine
• Antiviral drugs can be given to treat those who become severely ill with influenza.

Tamiflu (Oseltamivir )
• Block the active site of the influenza viral enzyme neuraminidase
• This effect results in viral aggregation at the host cell surface and reduces the number of viruses released from the infected cell

Mild Cases
• Supportive: Paracetamol, flds…
*NO SALICYLATES IN CHILDREN/ YOUNG ADULTS: REYE'S SYNDROME
• Antivirals : *best within first 48 hours
*Early administration in at-risk pts ie those with comorbidities/ pregnancy…
• control precautions: cough etiquette• Hand hygiene & Natural ventilation

Hospitalized pts:
• Antivirals
• Pneumonia management like avian (antibiotics)
• Resp. Support: early detection
Correction of hypoxia with supplemental O2 or mech. Vent as necessary
![Page 72: Swine flu](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55502169b4c90535638b553a/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Supportive care• When Mech. vent is indicated:
low volume low pressure lung protective vent.
• Steroids:
• Avoid routine use, no benefit was reported . Higher doses associated with serious SE:o evidence of increased viral replication in
SARS and other resp. viral infections. o Increased mortality in Avian

It is highly contagious!
• Can we have separate wards ,ICU’s and staffing
• We require separate OPD and testing facilities for suspected cases
• Can we spare separate equipment
• Can we organise all this in a running hospital?

Prevention
• management of the outbreak such as closure of schools, advising avoidance of mass gatherings and distribution of antivirals
• Avoiding close contact• Staying home from work, school• Covering mouth and nose with a tissue or
N95 mask (three layered) when coughing or sneezing. Change the mask every 6 to 8 hours
• Washing your hands
