Three probable cases and one possible case of swine flu are being investigated in Forth Valley. They include a family of three from Stirling, who have recently returned from a trip to North America.
One of those showing symptoms is a l0 year old girl who is a pupil at Allan's Primary in Stirling. However the child has not been back to school since her holiday with her parents and a decision has been taken that the school should remain open. Close contacts of the probable cases are being traced and treated with anti-viral drugs and advised to stay away from crowded places.
The possible case, which is not linked to the Stirling family, is also travel related.
NHS Forth Valley Medical Director Gareth Davies said: "We continue to remain vigilant.
"Symptoms of Influenza A (H1N1) in humans are usually similar to regular human seasonal flu. Our advice to the public is to watch out for fever, respiratory systems such as cough or runny nose, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. If anyone shows these following symptoms they should contact NHS 24 immediately on 08454 24 24 24."
NHS Forth Valley is continuing to work closely with partner agencies within the region. More information on the virus is available from the Health Protection Scotland website, on:http://www.hps.scot.nhs.uk/ .
