What’s the difference between the seasonal flu that occurs every winter and this new H1N1 flu virus?
Seasonal flu comes back in slightly different forms each year. But the H1N1 2009 is an entirely new combination of four genetic elements: a bird flu, some human flu genes and two types of swine flu. The H1N1 2009 virus, which has spread worldwide, was surprisingly robust during the spring and summer months. Right now, about 90 percent of the circulating flu is H1N1, although seasonal flu, which typically peaks in winter, has also been detected.
The seasonal influenza creates due to the comfortable weather for Influenza virus and it is not severe as H1N1 viruses. You own can not do dignosis between Flu and H1N1 because the symptoms are very similar of both diseases. If you are having the symptoms like flu then contact your doctor. Your doctor can make sure about the severity of your disease.
