Swine flu (H1N1 virus) has aggressive effects on humans due to its rapid replication. Though swine-flu attacks the lung parenchyma in the early phase of inflammation initiating severe lung pneumonia, recently it is studied that other vital organs (liver, kidney and brain) are brutally affected, showing its fatality. It is investigated that in the pathogenesis step inside the body, this influenza virus (swine-flu, H1N1) encourages discharge of inflammatory cytokines,
immunomodulating agents. Therefore, these inflammatory cytokines hinder liver and kidney function in the pathogenesis. Another harmful complication of swine-flu (H1N1) is, damaging of brain cells (neurons), those demonstrate irreversible. So, it is recommended to start antiflu drugs (Tamiflu or Relenza) as soon as possible with physician's prescription after H1N1 is diagnosed. It is recommended, to take temperature records regularly for the baby-care center or school-gloing children in the epidemic regions.
