Tests have confirmed the flu spreading in Parbat and Baglung since last two weeks are mostly swine flu, Nagarik daily reported quoting health officials. Nine out of 12 samples collected from Kushma bazaar have tested positive to Pandemic Influenza H1N1.

Five of them were army men working at Naya Bhairavi Dal Battalion based in Kushma Bazaar, district headquarters of Parbat. Four others were from children in Kushma.

A team of World Health Organisation and Ministry of Disease Control Division officials had collected samples of five army men and seven locals in Kushma a week ago.

The officials have said most of the cases of flu spreading in Parbat and Baglung could be swine flu as the samples collected from a small area tested positive in such high proportion.

A lot of people in Parbat and Baglung have fallen ill with fever and cold since last two weeks. Doctors had been saying the disease could be viral fever.

Schools in both Kushma and Baglung have been closed due to prevent the disease from further spreading. Although tests have not been carried out in Baglung, it could also be swine flu, as the disease spread from Parvab.

This is the second instance swine flu has been detected in community. Earlier, swine flu was found in Chitwan. The spread of disease in Chitwan has been largely controlled. nepalnews.com

Pukar  - Proven experience!!   |89.101.80.xxx |2009-11-07 16:43:46 Hi guys Do not kill yourselves by trusting these government or any one there. If u get effected nobody gives u a damn so it is just a waste of thinking to trust anyone. The best tip for everyone if u detect swine flu on yourself: Do not go outside to spread the flu to everyone, cover ur face with mask even inside ur house to protect ur rest of the family members, Try to fast as much as you can and only eat the plenty of juices of lemon, turmeric, garlic , Ginger . U will be surprise ur swine flu will be gone in 3 days. Anonymous   |71.113.244.xxx |2009-11-07 02:32:51 What about the outcome of infection? Are there any fatalities ociated with this outbreak or is it spreading only as a mild infection that the diseased individual recovers after a short duration of illness? The news does not clarify on this issue. Flu, cold and fever is a common infection in Nepal---occurs on a day to day basis. It does not matter whether it is a swine flu, general viral flu, bacterial flu or bird flu, what matters most is if there are any fatalities ociated with these conditions.
