3. H1N1 virus
Swine flu viruses may mutate (change) so that they are easily transmissible among humans.

4. Symptoms of Swine Flu
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of other types of seasonal flu.
The effects of the illness are often mild, but some people are more at risk of serious illness.

Swine flu can last about
one to two weeks in pigs
that survive.

7. High-risk groups
For most people, swine flu is a mild illness. Some people get better by staying in bed, drinking plenty of water and taking over-the-counter flu medication.
However, some groups of people are more at risk of serious illness if they catch flu.
It is already known that you are particularly at risk if you have:

8. High-risk groups Chronic (long-term) lung disease
Chronic heart disease
Chronic kidney disease
Chronic liver disease
Chronic neurological disease (neurological disorders include chronic fatigue syndrome , multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease)
Immunosuppression (whether caused by disease or treatment)
Diabetes Mellitus

9. High-risk groups Also at risk are:
Patients who have had drug treatment for asthma within the past three years.
Pregnant women.
People who are 65 years of age or over.

10. How is swine flu treated?
Not everyone needs treatment
with anti-flu drugs.
  Most people who
come down with H1N1
swine flu recover fully –
without antiviral
treatment.

11. How is swine flu treated?
H1N1 swine flu virus
is sensitive to the antiviral
drugs Tamiflu and Relenza.
These antiviral drugs are
most effective when taken
within 48 hours of the start
of flu symptoms. It's
resistant to older flu drugs.

12. How is swine flu treated?
A third antiviral drug,
Peramivir , can be used
only in hospitalized 
patients with severe flu.
Peramivir is an intravenous
drug approved for use under
the FDA's Emergency Use
Authorization.

13. Materials and Methods
Two methods have been taken a place in this project. Mainly, questionnaires that have been distributed on Arts, Business, Education, Science , and Nursing faculties in equal numbers of forms. Also, Internet searching was made to get information about Swine Flu disease.

14. The results
Referring to the results of the questionnaire, which was distributed to a slice of Bethlehem university students, the results of answers were as follows:

15. Q1- May Swine flu produce dangerous Complications that affect Heart and Kidney?

16. Q2- May Swine flu virus transfer through sexual intercourse?

17. Q3-Is there a vaccination for the disease?

18. Q4- Are men supposed to catch the disease more than women (due to their work circumstances) ?

19. Q5-Is infected pork can transfer the disease virus?

20. Q6- Swine flu can be treated by efficient antibiotics?

23. Analysis of Results

24. Analysis of both results:
Results of Males and Females students were ranged normally in most questions. But there is a little deviation in some answers, that lead us to say that males of Bethlehem University have a higher percentage of true answers than females.
