'H1N1 virus was present near Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute'

LUCKNOW: The committee formed to find the reason behind the spread of H1N1 virus in the city has concluded that the virus was circulating in and around the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute (SGPGI). The committee, which submitted its report on Monday, said that swab sample of 466 patients suffering with flu like symptoms were selected randomly. The samples were examined for H1N1 infection at the microbiology department of King George's Medical University (KGMU), CMO Lucknow, Dr SNS Yadav said

The committee, formed in September first week by the chief medical officer (CMO), was headed by KGMU dean and public health expert Prof JV Singh.

More than 12.6% of the patients tested positive to swine flu virus. Most of the patients were from Sarojaninagar, Mohanlalganj and SGPGI campus. An analysis of the patients revealed that they stay in Ektanagar, Sabha Kheda and Krishna vihar - localities inhabited by SGPGI employees and their families, making the researchers conclude that the swine flu virus was being circulated from the apex medical institute.

CMO said the swine flu virus was isolated and studied. He, however, said there was no need to worry. "The virus has become very weak and doesn't need the tamiflu treatment till a patient belongs to the risk category which comprises pregnant women, elderly and patients suffering from chronic diseases, particularly lung infection," he said. Doctors stress on preventive measures, particularly sneeze hygiene and washing of hands, to limit infection. They also say that 90% of H1N1 cases are not fatal, so one should not panic.
