Abstract

Swine flu is a disease of the respiratory system, caused by the H1N1 virus or type A influenza virus, and has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Initially, swine flu was reported only in pigs, but of recent, a considerable number of cases of swine flu in humans too, have been reported all over the world. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses. Cases of swine flu are rising on a daily basis and this calls for different treatment options that are effective in relieving swine flu symptoms. It also calls for more awareness on its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, prevention, treatments and new technologies available to fight against swine flu.
