  10. ILI • Influenza-like-illness • Seasonal Influenza • H1N1 Influenza

  11. 2009 and H1N1 – Influenza A • WHO (and Health Canada) declared a global pandemic of H1N1 Influenza A in spring /09 • A second wave of flu is expected this fall in the Northern Hemisphere • At risk persons include young children, pregnant women, those with pre-existing illness (asthma), and people in isolated communities • Most cases are mild, but rarely, respiratory distress can occur

  12. H1N1 Transmission • Influenza is a respiratory illness. • Transmission is through water droplet from coughing/sneezing/kissing • Indirect transmission is through self-inoculation after contact with surfaces/objects contaminated with the virus from infected persons ie: phones/keyboards/doorknobs, cups etc

  13. Time Frames • A person can be infected up to 4 days before symptoms start (Incubation Period) • A person can spread the virus one day before symptoms start (before they know they have it). • A person may spread the virus for 7-10 days once symptoms start. (it depends how sick they are)

  14. H1N1 can live on surfaces for 8-48 hours after they have been contaminated. • Droplets from a cough or sneeze move through the air. • Germs can be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth before washing their hands.

  15. ILI (Influenza Like Illness) Symptoms • Symptoms: • Acute (sudden) onset of respiratory symptoms with FEVER and COUGH and one or more of the following: sore throat, muscle aches, joint pain, or weakness. • No need to see a physician immediately if symptoms are mild • Call Student Health Services or family physician with any concerns

Exercise induced asthma, increase of symptoms with respiratory infection).

  20. I’m sick…now what? • Self isolation (no classes and no regular contact with colleagues), rest, fluids • Tylenol for fever per bottle directions • Fluids are more important than solid foods – drink as much as possisble (water, gatorade, jello, popsicles, soups) • let someone know who can look in on you you.
