Q&A: HOW DO YOU DIAGNOSE SWINE FLU AND WHAT IS THE ACCURACY OF THE DIAGNOSIS?

Question by Pourlomatte:
How do you diagnose swine flu and what is the accuracy of the diagnosis?
I am a bit astounded that doctors in minor clinics in Nova Scotia can claim to have diagnosed swine flu in four high-school students. Are they using some type of test like the HIV western blot, or are they just searching at these folks weezing and in light of the present hysteria, saying OH MY GOD! SWINE FLU!

I’ll eliminate my comment. I was incorrect it is now also in Canada. It was not 2 hrs ago.

It would be tested in a lab to confirm. The lab would confirm the doctors susipions.

I’m going to assume that they take swab tests and send them out to a lab to find out what strain of flu they have.
