Swine flu, caused by the influenza virus H1N1 2009 strain, is usually a mild illness. Diagnosis may be made based on the signs and symptoms of the disease. Swine flu manifests in most people as a usual flu infection with similar symptoms and thus may be confused with other viral illnesses. Viral infections usually do not cause many changes in the routine blood picture. A bacterial infection leading to flu-like features may be ruled out using a routine blood test with hemoglobin, and complete blood counts including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelet counts. To test for swine flu a nose or throat swab is taken. Within 15 minutes, the laboratory may tell if influenza type A or B is present. The specimen of the infected material from the patient’s throat or nose is collected within the first 4 to 5 days of illness. This is the most infectious period of the disease and the infected person is most likely to be shedding the virus. Children, however, may shed the virus for 10 days or longer. Further details of the exact strain may take a few days to detect and report. If there is a widespread infection, there may be no need for testing. Treatment is based on the symptoms alone. Most state health departments, after the pandemic, are now equipped with tests for non-human influenza virus strains. However, if a variant influenza virus is suspected, it is sent to CDC for further testing. Get the best H1N1 Test and accurate reports fromDR LAL PATH LABS. Visit or book anappointment.
