- [Presenters: This slide set was developed by the Office of Enterprise Communication, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This slide set is current as of 5.8.09]
- For the most current number of human cases visit the CDC H1N1flu website: http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/investigation.htm . CDC, along with state and local health agencies, are working together to investigate this situation. Numbers are updated every at 11:00 AM EDT.
- Influenza primarily infects the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). The disease can cause severe illness and lead to life-threatening complications, such as pneumonia, in many people.
- It is thought that the main way influenza viruses are spread from person to person is through transmission of respiratory droplets during coughing and sneezing. Close contact (about 3 feet or less) usually is necessary for this type of spread. Influenza viruses also can spread by touching respiratory droplets on yourself, others, or an object, then touching mucus membranes, such as the mouth, nose, or eyes, without washing contaminated hands.
- It is very important for anyone with symptoms to avoid contact with others, but seek emergency care if any of the symptoms listed in this slide are present.
- CDC is conducting active surveillance in the counties where infections in humans have been identified. CDC is also conducting studies of health care workers who were exposed to patients infected with the virus to see if they became infected, and households and other contacts of people who were confirmed to have been infected to see if they became infected. CDC is also conducting a study to see how long a person with the virus infection sheds the virus.
- CDC is reporting confirmed cases on a daily basis. States may announce cases as they are confirmed and therefore the numbers of cases may vary.
