Even in mid-summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the novel swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus still attracts headlines. The U.K.'s Health Protection Agency has published the death toll for last winter. It was 602, and that is just cases where influenza was given as a major cause on the death certificate. Importantly, 70% of those dying were in the age group 15 to 64, a change from the usual pattern where older people are more vulnerable. No surprise then that this virus retains a dominant presence in citation listings: eight of the top 25 medicine reports in the current Hot Papers extraction examine this subject, with four of those in the Top Ten (#1, #2, #3, #9).
