Tamiflu resistant Swine Flu
25/11/09
It has been confirmed that there are 5 cases of Tamiflu resistant Swine Flu in the UK.
This genetic mutation of the original H1N1 Swine Flu strain presents some problems as far as treatment is concerned.
The strain seems to have originated from a hospital in Wales. The resistant strain has passed from person to person, and these five cases are the first recorded worldwide. It is the passing from person to person that makes this original. Tamiflu resistance was first seen in Denmark.
The WHO are worried by this development, since it had previously been thought that Tamiflu was the best treatment for swine flu worldwide. If the resistant strain spreads it changes everything.
Get yourself vaccinated as soon as you can!
