New Delhi: Swine flu – the human respiratory infection caused by an influenza strain that started in pigs – has the national capital in a tight grip with the number of cases rising with every passing day.
Delhi has reported as many as 1,066 cases of swine flu in the last month alone – more than four times the number reported during the rest of this year.
The spurt in swine flu cases at this time of the year has come a surprise since the infection mostly peaks in the postmonsoon season and early winter.
Maintaining caution and being careful in your surroundings, however, goes without saying, especially in public places due to the influenza's human to human nature of transmission.
"The spike in swine flu at this time is also due to infection coming in from states where a very high number of cases have been reported.Such a big outbreak in the month of August is a matter of concern since swine flu usually rises in October and November," said Dr K K Aggrawal, national president of the IMA. The association has planned to launch a poster campaign against swine flu," TOI reported.
