Swine flu countinues to haunt, two more deaths in Madhya Pradesh

With two more deaths due to swine flu in Bhopal, the central surveillance unit of integrated disease surveillance programme (IDSP) has reported 23% death rate due to H1NI virus in Madhya Pradesh, so far in 2019. Delay in diagnosis has appeared to be one of the major deterrents in curbing the contagious disease. However, when compared to neighbouring states like Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra, less than one-tenth of H1N1 cases have been reported in MP.
