H1N1 Patient Handout
H1N1 (Swine Flu)
What is H1N1 flu?
H1N1 influenza, or swine flu, is a respiratory
illness caused by type A influenza viruses. This
virus was originally referred to as “swine flu”
because it was thought to be very similar to flu
viruses that normally occur in pigs (swine) in
North America. H1N1 flu was first detected in
people in the United States in April 2009.
How does H1N1 flu spread?
H1N1 flu is contagious and is spreading between people. This virus may be transmitted in similar ways that other flu viruses
spread, through coughing or sneezing. A person may be able to infect another person one day before symptoms develop and
for seven or more days (longer for children) after becoming sick. It is possible that someone may become infected by touching
something with the virus on it and then touching his mouth or nose. Eating pork does not cause swine influenza.
What are the symptoms of H1N1 flu?
The symptoms of H1N1 flu include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body
aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Diarrhea and vomiting may also be associated with
H1N1 flu. Most people with the virus have recovered without needing treatment, but
hospitalizations and deaths have occurred.
H1N1 Symptoms
• Headache
• Fever
• Fatigue
What should I do if I think I have H1N1 flu?
If you have flu symptoms, stay home and avoid contact with other people to avoid
spreading your illness. It is recommended that you stay home for at least 24 hours after
your fever is gone, or if possible, until your cough is gone. If you have severe illness or
you are at high risk for flu complications, contact your health care provider.
He or she will determine whether testing or treatment is needed.
• Chills
Seek emergency medical care for any of the following warning signs:
• Body aches
• Runny or
stuffy nose
• Sore throat
• Cough
In children:
In adults:
•
•
•
•
•
•
• Difficulty breathing
or shortness of breath
• Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
• Sudden dizziness
• Confusion
• Severe or persistent vomiting
• Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with
fever and worse cough
Fast breathing or trouble breathing
Bluish skin color
Not drinking enough fluids
Not waking up or not interacting
Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with
fever and worse cough
• Severe or persistent vomiting

H1N1 Patient Handout
How is H1N1 flu treated?
The CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir (brand
name Tamiflu) or zanamivir (brand name Relenza) to
treat and/or prevent swine influenza. These antiviral
medications may also prevent serious complications.
For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if star ted
within 2 days of symptoms.
What can I do to prevent H1N1 flu?
You can reduce your risk of contracting and spreading swine influenza
and other influenza viruses by:
• Coughing or sneezing into
your arm; avoiding close
contact with people who have
respiratory symptoms such as
coughing or sneezing
• Not touching your eyes, nose, or
mouth because this is how germs
get into your body
• Staying home when you're sick
and getting as much rest
as possible
• Keeping surfaces and objects
(especially tables, counters, doorknobs, toys) that can be exposed
to the virus clean
• Washing your hands often
with soap and water for
15-20 seconds; using
alcohol-based hand cleansers
is also acceptable
• Practicing other good health habits,
including getting plenty of sleep,
staying active, drinking plenty of
fluids, and eating healthy foods

H1N1 Español por los Pacientes
Virus de la influenza A subtipo H1N1
(anteriormente llamado de la «gripe porcina»)
¿Qué es la gripe por H1N1?
La gripe por H1N1, originalmente llamada
«gripe porcina», es la enfermedad respiratoria que
causa la infección por el virus de la influenza A
subtipo H1N1. A este virus originalmente se le llamó
virus de la «gripe porcina» puesto que se pensó que
era muy similar a los virus que causan gripe en los
cerdos (porcinos) en Norteamérica. El virus de la influenza
A subtipo H1N1 fue detectado por primera vez en humanos
en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica en abril del 2009.
¿Cómo se propaga la gripe por H1N1?
La gripe por H1N1 es contagiosa y se propaga de persona a persona. El virus puede propagarse de manera similar a otros
virus de la gripe; a través de la tos o de los estornudos. Una persona puede infectar a otra un día antes de presentar síntomas
y durante siete o más días (más tiempo en los niños) después de haber enfermado. Existe la posibilidad de que una persona se
infecte al tocar una superficie contaminada con el virus si esta persona luego se pone las manos sobre la boca o nariz. Comer
carne de cerdo no causa gripe por H1N1.
¿Cuáles son los síntomas de la gripe por H1N1?
Los síntomas de la gripe por H1N1 incluyen fiebre, tos, dolor de garganta, nariz con
mucosidad o tupida; dolor en el cuerpo, dolor de cabeza, escalofríos y fatiga. La mayoría
de las personas que han tenido el virus se han recuperado sin necesitar tratamiento, pero
ha habido otras que han necesitado hospitalización, y también otras que han muerto.
Síntomas de A(H1N1)
• Dolor de cabeza
• Fiebre
• Fatiga
¿Qué debo hacer si pienso que tengo gripe por H1N1?
Si usted piensa que tiene síntomas de gripe quédese en casa y evite entrar en contacto con
otras personas para no propagar la enfermedad. Es recomendable quedarse en casa por lo
menos durante 24 horas después de que le haya pasado la fiebre, o si es posible, después
de que le haya pasado la tos. Si está gravemente enfermo, o si pertenece a un grupo de alto
riesgo para desarrollar complicaciones, entre en contacto con su proveedor de atención
médica. Él determinará si es necesario que le hagan análisis o que tome tratamiento.
• Escalofríos
• Nariz con
mucosidad o tupida
• Dolor de garganta
• Tos
• Dolores corporales
Busque atención médica de urgencias si presenta cualquiera de los
siguientes signos (señas) de alarma:
En niños:
En adultos:
•
•
•
•
•
•
• Dificultad para respirar o sensación de «falta de aire»
• Dolor o sensación de presión en el pecho o en
el abdomen
• Mareo súbito
• Confusión
• Vómito intenso o persistente
• Los síntomas como de gripe mejoran pero luego
reaparecen con fiebre y tos más fuerte.
Respiración acelerada o dificultad para respirar
Tonalidad morada en la piel
No está tomando suficientes líquidos
No se despierta o no responde a las acciones
Está tan irritable que no quiere que lo alcen
Los síntomas como de gripe mejoran pero
luego reaparecen con fiebre y tos más fuerte.
• Vómito intenso o persistente

H1N1 Español por los Pacientes
¿Cómo es el tratamiento para la gripe por A(H1N1)?
Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades de los EE. UU.
(CDC) recomiendan el uso de oseltamivir (nombre de marca Tamiflu) o de
zanamivir (nombre de marca Relenza) para el tratamiento y la infección,
o solamente para prevenir la infección por el virus de la influenza
A(H1N1). Estos medicamentos antivíricos también pueden prevenir
complicaciones graves. Para el tratamiento, los medicamentos antivíricos
funcionan mejor si se comienzan a usar en un lapso de dos días después
de que comienzan los síntomas.
¿Qué puedo hacer para prevenir la gripe por A(H1N1)?
Usted puede disminuir su riesgo de contraer gripe por A(H1N1) y de propagar
otros virus de la influenza de la siguiente manera:
• Tosiendo o estornudando sobre
su brazo y evitando el contacto
cercano con personas que
presentan síntomas respiratorios
tales como tos o estornudos.
• No tocándose los ojos, nariz o
boca, pues ésta es la manera
como los gérmenes llegan hasta
nuestro cuerpo.
• Quedándose en casa cuando está
enfermo y descansando el mayor
tiempo que pueda.
• Manteniendo limpias las superficies
y objetos (especialmente mesas,
mesones, cerraduras de puertas)
que puedan estar expuestos al virus.
• Lavándose las manos con
frecuencia con agua y jabón
durante 15 a 20 segundos o
usando un limpiador para las
manos con base en alcohol.
• Practicando otros hábitos saludables;
incluso dormir bastante, mantenerse
activo, tomar líquidos en cantidad y
comer alimentos saludables.
