The first case of this novel H1N1 influenza was dismissed by us as being a non-off incident, and being far away from where we were. Yet somehow, in a very short span of time, and in the 'age of communication' the virus has traversed all across the world to grow into a pandemic.

Such a tumultuous growth of an unknown disease has created fear among people; leading to irrational actions as a result of a lack of understanding.

With this book, we have attempted to bring back sanity amidst the unfolding chaos which otherwise has the potential to spiral out of control. Our aim is to make the administration, the medical authorities, the media and the people at large to understand that there is no need to panic.

We want to make all of them aware that the infection is preventable, treatable and even curable; in most cases the symptoms have usually been mild. They need to know that there are systems in place for the early detection, surveillance and treatment of the infection; all that now remains is their proper execution.

The book is based on facts which can go a long way in clearing any myths and misnomers that are being harboured. It contains all that you need to know about H1N1 Influenza pertaining to: Modes of transmission; Pathology of the disease; prophylaxis; Prevention; Natural Remedies; Helpline numbers in India.
