Has there been any expert opinion on the possibility of long term respiratory & other damage from H1N1?

What can we anticipate and what are the implications?

Re: Long term conditions from severe H1N1?

As soon as I brought swine flu up at work, a co-worker said that his grandmother had survived it (1918) and had been susceptible to respiratory infections for the rest of her life. She died from pneumonia in her old age.

Because of the severity of the deep lung infections of both the 1918 and the current pandemic, we may get some indication from survivors of the 1918 flu. Probably not more than antidotal though, since I have not heard of any long term follow up on survivors.

Re: Long term conditions from severe H1N1?

Not an expert but here are the results of my researches.

The direct mortality of H1N1 by ARDS would be one hundred times more than seasonnial flu

Internationally speaking via many regimes and Cultures they agree on the Professor Reading.

Because There are three ways to died of influenza

The First almost vanished in developed counties is the bacterial over infection.

The Second is a viral pneumonia (pneumopathy) that lead in its distress symptoms a Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), and death in 50 to 60% of cases.

In this situation of 'Direct Mortality' it is the le virus that kills.

The third cause, the most frequent, is the aggravation of severe pre-existing disease.

So the most fastest perceptible via the media and environment will be the ARDS cases in youth.

We do not have enough personnel and particular medical devices to cope period.

..so it brought me in Pulmonary understanding of the link of an H1N1 infection in deep lungs is cruising with ARDS.

It is a snke virus that can go straight to the intestines.

SO I focus at the Bridge between Upper Lungs and Deeper Lungs.

Following Mingus Old Trail in his Lab I see

This goes right in the way of the Dr.Varner (Wiscart)'s paper previously presented here
http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...hlight=wiscart

Then to the St-Michael Post

EFFICACY AND ANTI-INFLAMMATION ACTIVITY OF A SELECTIVE PHOSPHODIESTERASE-4 INHIBITOR CILOMILAST IN TREATMENT OF COPD

All this when I am doing corroborated research for ragweed in relation with this bridge between Upper Lungs and Deep Lungs.
