Now, this is a bit of a worry.....
"Man contracts swine flu resistant to
Tamiflu
Western Australia News
A PERTH man has become the first person in Australia to contract
a strain of swine flu which is resistant to the antiviral drug Tamiflu.
WA Health confirmed the 38-year-old man, who has a weakened
immune system, initially responded to the drug but developed a
resistant strain of the virus when his illness relapsed.
There have been 13 cases of Tamiflu-resistant infections reported
around the world."
I guess it is inevitable, particularly given the over use of drugs but, once again, we are now faced with a problem. The only bright note I can add is that the other day the initial trails results of a vaccine trial have been very (95% or there abouts) good.
