Editorial
Abstract
As usual, the CPD section of the SA Family Practice journal features relevant articles for the family practitioners and we start this edition with an informative article on swine flu compiled by M Venter and L Blumberg of the National Institute of Communicable Diseases, South Africa. The new H1N1 influenza A strain of swine origin is different from the seasonal H1N1 influenza as it is a quadruple recombinant strain that has genetic elements of swine, avian and human influenza.
