AMA Web site provides latest info on H1N1 flu (swine flu)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed that human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified in 11 states and several countries. Investigations are ongoing to determine the source of infection and whether additional people have been infected with the virus.
The AMA Web site includes up-to-date clinical guidelines, resources and news to help physicians and the public disseminate the most recent information about swine flu infections. These guidelines, developed by the CDC, include the use of masks, respirators and antiviral medications; infection control; and case identification. The AMA continues to work with the CDC to monitor swine flu developments closely and will post additional resources on these developments as they become available.
If you would like to receive free, automatic e-mail updates from the CDC as new information becomes available, visit the CDC Web site to subscribe.
