One more tests positive for H1N1

PUNE: One more person tested positive for H1N1 flu in the city on Monday. With this, the total number of swine flu cases has gone up to six in the city, since April this year.

Also, the number of throat swab samples arriving at the National Institute of Virology has now gone up to 45 per day from the earlier one-two samples every day.

"The throat swab samples coming to NIV are mainly from Pune, Nanded and Nashik," said Mandeep Chadha, deputy director, NIV. "These are sporadic cases and there is no need to panic as the rate of positive cases is low. We are constantly monitoring the situation," he added.

"The case of the 36-year-old man, who tested positive on Monday, is the only one this month. The patient is a resident of Magarpatta City in Hadapsar. Of the other five cases, three were registered in May and two in April," said S T Pardeshi, assistant health officer, PMC.

"The three cases in May were from a city-based hospital. A doctor and two nurses had contracted the disease while treating a swine flu patient," Pardeshi said.

Since most of us have developed a natural immunity due to extended exposure to swine flu and some have vaccine-induced immunity, finding swine flu antibodies in blood is normal, but in such cases, the throat swab would not test positive. Hence, if a person's throat swab tests positive, it means that he or she has contracted the disease, Chadha said.

The positive report came in on Monday,? he added.

She added that the number of swine flu cases in the city is not alarming compared to last year. According to statistics from Directorate of Health Services, 23 patients have been suspected of having contracted the virus since April until June 19 and were administered Tamiflu.

Two people test positive for swine flu in Mumbai


Mumbai: The dreaded H1N1 virus that has claimed many lives over the past two years, has reared its ugly head once again in Mumbai.

Yesterday, two people in Mumbai tested positive for the virus. After throat swabs were sent to Haffkine institute, pathological tests conducted on the samples diagnosed that the swine flu virus had infected a 37-year-old woman from Chandivli and a three-year-old girl.

The two diagnoses follow close on the heels of similar cases in Pune and Nashik. Alarmed by the re-emergence of the disease, the state health department had a closed-door meeting with experts last morning at the Mantralaya to think of measures that can safeguard the city from another pandemic.

The state health department had issued detailed precautionary guidelines to be adopted when the outbreak of the disease assumed the pandemic proportions two years back.

The state had even roped in private hospitals, which had prepared special quarantine wards for those afflicted with the disease.

Dr Abhay Chaudhary, director of Haffkine institute, said, "We have received samples from two city hospitals.

Tests were conducted in our Bio Safety level (BSL) 2 + labs, and the samples tested positive for the H1N1 virus. There is no use panicking, as the virus is here to stay.
