Seoul : Cough better H1N1 indicator not fever

Via UPI, excerpt :

" SEOUL, Aug. 4 : Airports that tried to detect people with H1N1 by screening people with a fever were not effective because about half have no fever, researchers in Seoul say.

Researchers led by Dr. Sang Won Park, a professor at the Seoul National University, investigated confirmed cases of people with H1N1 who were hospitalized and quarantined in the early stages of the pandemic in 2009.

The study, published in the American Journal of Infection Control, showed 45.5 percent of the study subjects confirmed to have H1N1 had fever."
