Swine flu

Due to the recent global outbreak of Swine Influenza, EBSCO Publishing and the DynaMed Editors have made DynaMed’s information about Swine Influenza free to health care providers and institutions throughout the world.

The DynaMed topic on Swine Influenza consolidates information from multiple sources for health care providers to stay current with recommendations for monitoring, diagnosing, and treating patients with flu-like illnesses during this outbreak.

DynaMed Editors will continue to monitor information and update this topic as needed throughout this global crisis.

Additional DynaMed clinical evidence summaries can be accessed through the DynaMed link under the Clinical Knowledge Summaries. DynaMed is normally a subscribed resource (American bias), which has been made freely available in the UK only when linking through the Clinical Knowledge Summaries.

Additional evaluated information is being added to the Intute website, please click here to view the latest articles and podcasts.
