Symptoms of the swine flu are presented with acute fever and airway injection within seven days of close contact with someone who has been confirmed to be positive with the H1N1 infection. Another guideline for the swine flu is acute fever with airway infection within 7 days and has travel to a community within or outside the country where H1N1 cases has been confirm to be present. The last guideline for swine flu is an individual presenting and acute fever with airway infection living in a community where H1N1 influenza A infection case is confirmed. In addition to the CDC guideline, a confirmation test must be done. These include laboratory test such as blood test, chest x-ray, and nose or throat swab. Nasal or throat swab is the primary test for the swine flu. The specimens are usually collected within the first 4-5 days of illness, since it is the most infectious period of the disease and sent down to the laboratory. Results can be available within 4 hours using the Human Influenza Virus Real Time RT-PCR Detection and Characterization Panel. The kit can identify the virus as type A or B and further classify influenza a virus by the subtype. Chest X-rays do not necessary confirm that the swine flu is present but the imaging test usually suggest pneumonia or other respiratory complication. Blood test taken are used to rule out Bacteria
