Tamiflu-resistant swine flu to become more common

Tamiflu-resistant swine flu which has broken out in Wales will become much more common as the virus mutates, a flu expert said today.

Three out of five patients diagnosed with the Tamiflu-resistant strain remain in hospital today, after it was revealed they could be the world’s first cases of person-to-person transmission of the resistant virus, the National Public Health Service for Wales (NPHS) said.
