SWINE FLU
In Mexico, a flu had appeared some years back. It was believed that this flu had infected from pigs. So, it was named 'Swine flu'. It was then identified that the flu was due to a virus called H1N1. Here 'H' stands for 'Haemagglutinin' and 'N' stands for 'Neuraminadase'. Since it was a contagious disease, it appeared in almost all countries within no time. The medicines advised for this flu are 'Oseltamivir/Tamiflu' and 'Zanamivir'.
