Swine flu claims 132 lives, govt claims 'situation well under control

New Delhi: After 132 deaths and 708 cases of swine flu reported across the country during the current year, government on Tuesday said it was monitoring the situation, which is "well under control".

The worst affected state was Rajasthan, accounting for 65 deaths and reporting as many as 326 cases, followed by Haryana with 23 deaths and 78 cases of H1N1 infection during the period January 1 to February 6 this year.

Punjab has reported a total of 16 deaths and 90 cases of swine flu, while Gujarat has reported 16 deaths and 58 cases in less than seven weeks of the current year.

A total of 3,315 lives have been lost due to the virus so far since May 2009, with a total number of 53,943 cases reported from across the country till January 27.

The government also said that since the virus is circulating within the country, there is no need to impose any travel restriction or screening at inter-state point of entry, railway stations.

"World Health Organisation (WHO), while declaring the Pandemic to be over in August 2010, conveyed that the influenza H1N1 pandemic virus would take on the behaviour of seasonal influenza virus and continue to circulate for some years. Hence, in the post-pandemic period, localised outbreaks of varying magnitude with significant level of H1N1 transmission are expected," a Health Ministry statement said.

The ministry said cases are being reported presently from states of Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab and said small pockets of population that remained unexposed to the pandemic and were susceptible would be affected.

Delhi has reported 57 laboratory confirmed cases of Influenza A H1N1 since January 1, 2013, of which three have died (as on February 7).

A total of 153 lives have been lost in the national capital since May 2009 due to the Influenza A virus, with a total of 11,294 cases reported so far.

In Delhi, 22 hospitals (17 government and 5 private) and 8 laboratories (3 government and 5 private) have been activated and this includes central government institutions like RML Hospital, Safdarjung Hospital and laboratories of NCDC and AIIMS.

Maharashtra has reported a maximum of total 1,083 deaths since May 2009, with total cases of Influenza A H1N1 virus standing at 13,009 till January 27.

Re: India Influenza 2013; 305 fatalities

Some limited information on the current influenza wave in India. Information gathered from our various threads.
304 confirmed H1N1, 1 confirmed B

Fatalities by Gender:



Fatalities by Age: (n=115, the ages of 190 fatal cases are not known)



Fatalities by Week;


* Week incomplete
Where possible date of death is used, otherwise date of report.

Of 92 identified female fatalities, at least 31 were pregnant.

Analysis:
For comparison, Confirmed fatalities Jan & Feb of given year
2013: 305
2012: 12
2011: 16
2010: 395

The current wave of influenza in Northern India is comparable to the height of the H1N1 pandemic in Winter 2009-2010. The age distribution graph suggests that mortality among 20-60 year olds continues to be unusually high for this strain. At least 10% of all confirmed fatalities are pregnant women.
