Subject: Human case of flu seen in pigs found in UK for first time
Written By: Philip Eno on 11/27/23 at 8:37 am
One person in the UK has been infected by a strain of flu similar to viruses spreading in pigs, health officials say.
It is the first time this strain has been detected in the UK and close contacts are now being traced.
The A(H1N2)v case was detected after a routine test at a GP surgery was analysed in a lab.
The person affected had respiratory symptoms, a mild illness and has now fully recovered.
Investigations are under way into the source of the infection.
