Two Students Diagnosed with H1N1 Influenza

NC State Student Health Services received confirmation this evening
that two NC State students have the novel H1N1 influenza virus. The
students are recovering and are in self-isolation at home. Both
individuals reside off campus in Wake County and there is no connection
between the cases.


NC State Student Health Services is leading the university's response in
collaboration with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human
Services and Wake County public health officials.

The university has notified individuals who are enrolled in classes with
the students who were diagnosed with H1N1 influenza to monitor
themselves for flu symptoms, which may include fever over 100 degrees,
respiratory symptoms, such as cough and sore throat, runny or stuffy
nose, and diarrhea or vomiting. An e-mail alert was also sent to the
campus community, including employees of the university.

Influenza is spread person to person (when an infected person coughs or
sneezes sending contaminated droplets through the air that can be
deposited in the mouth or nose of people as far as 6 feet away) or from
contaminated objects to a person (when something is touched that has
been contaminated with the virus, and then hands are brought to the
mouth, nose, or eyes). The virus can survive for minutes to hours on
surfaces. Incubation period from contact with the virus to symptoms is
usually within 7 days.

An individual with influenza is considered potentially contagious from 1
day before onset to 7 days after onset of the illness and is advised to
stay at home for a minimum of 7 days after symptoms develop or for 24
hours after symptoms resolve, whichever is longer.

Those who are ill should cover their mouth or nose when coughing or
sneezing and discard tissue, should wash their hands after handling
respiratory droplets from the nose or mouth, and should periodically
sanitize surfaces (such as remotes, doorknobs) that may have been
contaminated with droplets. Many household cleaners, such as bleach-
containing cleaners, Lysol, or alcohol-based products should be
effective.

Remember that there are many illnesses with symptoms similar to
influenza that are not influenza at all. For example, a common cold or
allergies can cause nasal symptoms and cough. If you have questions
about your symptoms or feel that you need to be seen because of
symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.

Influenza is treated with a variety of over-the-counter products
effective at reducing fever, sore throat, and cough. The prescription
anti-viral medications, Tamiflu and Relenza, may be effective at
shortening the course of influenza if given within 48 hours of the onset
of symptoms. Anti-viral medication might not be necessary for all
patients with novel H1N1 infection, such as those with mild symptoms.

Students, staff, and faculty of NC State should be aware that cases of
H1N1 influenza have been reported in other locations in North Carolina,
throughout the United States, and internationally. Good health practices
can safeguard those who are well. Stay away from sick people. Wash hands
frequently with soap and water, especially after being out in public
(handling grocery cart, money, using ATM machine, touching doors). Use
alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. Do not
share personal items, such as drinks. If you have had known close
contact with a confirmed or suspected case of influenza, contact your
healthcare provider to consider whether prophylactic anti-viral
medication is warranted or monitor yourself for symptoms of influenza.
If worrisome symptoms develop, contact your healthcare provider.

My dad did some work for a doctor and they were talking about it the other day. The doctor told him it is one of the few flu bugs that termaflu works on, so it isn't as dangerous as the press is making it out to be.
