H1N1 Flu Virus Surfaces In Chicago
(CBS) – Nearly two dozen cases of the potentially deadly H1N1 flu virus have been confirmed in the Chicago area, CBS 2 has learned.
Finding the flu virus among patients at Loyola University Medical Center is keeping special machines working overtime right now.
They’ve detected a sudden burst of the 2009 swine flu spreading right here in the Chicago area. Microbiologist Paul Schreckenberger says last week alone, 21 patients tested positive for Influenza A. All but one of those cases were the 2009 H1N1 swine flu.
“We don’t know why it’s emerging,” Schreckenberger says.

Alberta H1N1 Cases Double In One Week
One person has died from H1N1 influenza in Alberta, and the province's senior medical officer of health says this year's strain is causing a small number of people to get seriously ill.
Dr. Gerry Predy also says the number of confirmed influenza cases in the Edmonton area has jumped this week to 125, up from 65 last week.
The doctor says the number of confirmed cases will rise even more when children head back to school in January.
