niversity Health Services is seeing more patients with flu-like symptoms than usual for this time of year. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that almost all of the influenza occurring at this time in Texas and in the United States is caused by the H1N1 ("swine flu") virus. Governmental surveillance reports also show that right now, H1N1 is occurring more often among people 24 and younger than typical for seasonal flu.
H1N1 cases have been fairly mild, much like seasonal flu. In general, concern about the severity of symptoms caused by H1N1 flu should be no greater than concern for symptoms caused by seasonal flu.
The information about influenza on this site is updated frequently. Bookmark this page and check back often.
