But if apart from Swine Flu, patient is suffering severe illness like Pneumonia, respiratory failure like Asthma, Diabetes etc., in such cases even deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in the people.

US Health official revealed on Wednesday that study has stated that many people who have died from swine flu in the country were also infected with other bacteria including pneumonia and meningitis.

There is a group of people including children, older people, pregnant women and people with other medical conditions are like diabetes, cancer and other respiratory diseases are more prone to get affected by H1N1 virus due to lacking immunity power. The normal infection period for a confirmed case of H1N1 is defined as 1 day to 7 days before and after onset illness. But even if in case of adults ranged in age from 20 to 45 years, if they are having severe bacterial infection or illness in the past, they may get H1N1 infection because they already lack the immunity power than that of their usual immunity.

Therefore swine flu may cause worsening their medical conditions or even Deaths in these cases.
