2009 H1N1 (sometimes called “swine flu”) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus is spreading from person-to-person worldwide, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) signaled that a pandemic of 2009 H1N1 flu was underway.
Symptoms of regular seasonal flu include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Additional symptoms associated with H1N1 Flu can include runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
