People with Neurological Disorders Greater Risk of H1N1 Infection/Diary Stroke Dementia Patient




   Children and adults with chronic neurological disorders are at an increased risk of developing H1N1 infection - and for having serious complications from the virus. The CDC also identified other groups of people who may also have a higher risk, including children younger than 5 years of age, people 65 years or older, pregnant women; also individuals with cancer, blood disorders, respiratory conditions, kidney disorders, liver disorders, diabetes, heart disease, any type of central nervous system disorder, muscular dystrophy, and those with a weakened immune system.
   The signs and symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Some may have nausea and diarrhea.
   If adults or children develop trouble breathing, dizziness, confusion, or severe vomiting with a flu-like illness seek emergency treatment immediately.
