WATCH OUT
Swine flu is back, but not as deadly
People With Low Immunity Levels Need To Take Extra Precautions, Say Doctors
Hetal Vyas | TNN

Bangalore: Influenza A (H1N1) or swine flu is back in Bangalore. The deadly virus which first surfaced in India in 2009, may not have claimed any life in the state so far this year, but the scale at which it is back has had warning bells ringing in the healthcare establishment.
Do not panic, doctors say, because it is not necessary that every person contracting H1N1 will die. It is just that people with low-immunity levels must take extra precautions.
The department of communicable diseases, health and family welfare, Karnataka, has in the first 42 days of 2013 (from January 1 to February
11) recorded 31 positive cases of H1N1 across the state. Of these, 24 cases have been reported from the city (BBMP limits) alone.
