PROBLEM STATEMENT- WORLD
WHO estimates (2009)
2 billion cases
2 - 7.4 million deaths
WHO predicts worse economic disruption than past
pandemics (absenteeism may go up to 70%.)
Globally, this year influenza activity remained elevated
in the northern hemisphere with influenza A(H3N2)
viruses predominating, although some countries in Asia,
Europe and North Africa reported high levels of activity
associated with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses.
2015 SWINE FLU EPIDEMIC IN INDIA
2015 Indian swine flu outbreak refers to a outbreak of
the 2009 pandemic H1N1 virus in India, which is still ongoing
as of March 2015. The states of Gujarat and Rajasthan are the
worst effected.
India had reported 937 cases and 218 deaths from swine flu in
the year 2014.
By mid-February 2015, the reported cases and deaths in 2015
had surpassed the previous numbers.
The total number of laboratory confirmed cases crossed
33000 mark with death of more than 2000 people.
CASUALITIES
2,035 dead (as of 30 March 2015)

WHY ARE WE CONCERNED?
(H1N1 V/S SEASONAL INFLUENZA)
Short incubation period
Subclinical and mild cases
Short duration of immunity
H1N1 - High Transmission Risk (20-30%)
Seasonal Influenza ( 5-15%)
H1N1 - young & healthy adults (20-60 yrs)
Seasonal flu (≥65 years)
11
World Health Organization
(11th June 2009)
Upgraded the phasing of pandemic influenza from Phase 5 to Phase 6

TYPE A TYPE B TYPE C
GENETIC
PLASTICITY
Undergoes mutation that can take place
within the genome (Antigenic drift) / or
re-assortment among the genetic
materials of subtypes (Antigenic Shift )
resulting in a new virus.
Antigenic Drift is responsible for new
seasonal strains that makes necessary
surveillance to detect these strains and
to prepare new seasonal influenza
vaccine (yearly basis)
Antigenic Shift may result in a new
virus easily transmissible from man to
man for which the population has no
immunity : Results in Pandemics

EPIDEMIOLOGY:
AGENT FACTORS
Reservoir of Infection:
Humans primary reservoir for human
infections.
Major reservoir – animals & birds (swine,
horses, dogs, cats, domestic poultry, water
birds, wild birds etc.)
Source of Infection:
Usually a case or sub-clinical case.19
HOST FACTORS
Age & Sex:
All ages, both sexes.
Attack rates lower among adults.
High Case Fatality Ratio (CFR) during epidemic
in high risk cases.
Human Immunity
No long lasting immunity.
Antibodies to ‘H’: neutralise the virus.
Antibodies to ‘N’: modify the infection.
Antibodies appear in 7 days after an attack;
reach maximum level in 2 weeks; drops to pre-
infection level in 8-12 months.20
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Seasonality :
Temperate zones: epidemics occur in winter.
Tropics: epidemics occur in rainy season.
Sporadic cases: any month.
Overcrowding :
Enhances transmission.
Higher attack rates in closed population groups.
(schools, institutions etc.)21
DISEASE TRANSMISSION
Mainly airborne:
Droplet nuclei = 1,00,000 to 10,00,000 Virions per
droplet.
Through direct contact.
Transmission from objects possible.
22
SURVIVAL OF INFLUENZA VIRUS
SURFACES AND EFFECT OF HUMIDITY & TEMPERATURE
Hard non-porous surfaces 24-48 hours.
Plastic, stainless steel
Recoverable for > 24 hours
Transferable to hands up to 24 hours
Cloth, paper & tissue
Recoverable for 8-12 hours
Transferable to hands 15 minutes
Viable on hands <5 minutes only at high viral titers
Potential for indirect contact transmission
*Humidity 35-40%, Temperature 28 C (82F)23
CHARACTERISTICS
Virus is destroyed by:
o heat 75-100 degrees Celsius.
o chemical germicides: chlorine, hydrogen
peroxide, detergents (soap), iodophors (iodine-
based antiseptics), and alcohols.
24
24
TRANSMISSION
Novel influenza A (H1N1) spreads in the same way as
regular seasonal influenza viruses;
coughs and sneezes and
Fomites
Does not spread by eating pork
25
TRANSMISSION TO HUMAN
Direct Transmission
Pigs to Human
e.g. people at pigs farm or at a fairs
Person - Person
Human to Pigs
26
26
INDIRECT TRANSMISSION
Human to Human:
respiratory secretions
contaminated inanimate
objects & then touching
nose or mouth
274/7/2015

INFECTIOUS PERIOD
The duration of shedding with swine flu A (H1N1) virus is unknown.
Considered potentially contagious for up to 7 days following illness
onset.
Children, especially younger children, might be contagious for longer
periods.
The estimated incubation period is unknown and could range from 1-
7 days, and more likely 1-4 days.
Antibodies appear in 7 days after an attack; reach maximum level in
2 weeks; drops to pre-infection level in 8-12 months28

Slowly remove swab while slightly
rotating it.
Use a different swab for the other nostril.
Put tip of swab into vial
containing VTM, breaking
applicator stick.
COLLECTION OF SWABS - PEDIATRIC
patient is < 1 year old Collect nasal swab from both
nostrils
patient is > 1 year old and

symptoms of nasal
discharge
( running nose)
Collect nasal swab from both
the nostrils
patient is > 1 year old and
NO NASAL DISCHARGE
collect throat swab
(two swabs )
Both Nasal and Throat swabs can be collected into the same

If the patient is intubated, take a tracheal aspirate
Broncho alveolar lavage

ADVISORY FOR ASYMPTOMATIC CONTACTS:
Remain at home (home quarantine) for at least 7 days after
the last exposure with a case.
Initiate self-health monitoring (regular temperature charting,
twice a day) or respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat,
running nose, difficulty in breathing etc.) for 7 days after the
last exposure to the case patient.
Active monitoring (e.g. daily visits or telephone calls) for 7
days. All the contacts may be treated with tami-flu one B.D.
for 5 days, if risk assessment indicates70
