Abstract

Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. State health officials report that the flu is now widespread in Minnesota. While not all cases of the H1N1 variety, or swine flu, officials believe it's playing a big role in the upsurge. So, who is at risk and what are the symptoms? We asked John Finnegan, dean of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. <clip: “There are groups of people … asthma, heart disease, cancer and so forth.”> Finnegan says the symptoms are similar to those of seasonal influenza – they include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting. So, when should people seek medical care? <clip: “If your fever is spiking … definitely seek medical care.”> For public health moment, I’m Mark Engebretson.
