My Way News - Tamiflu-resistant swine flu cluster reported in NC
My Way News reports: "Tamiflu - made by Switzerland's Roche Group - is one of two flu medicines that help against swine flu, and health officials have been closely watching for signs that the virus is mutating, making the drugs ineffective. [...] The BBC reported another cluster of five Tamiflu-resistant cases this week in Wales, in the United Kingdom. [...] CDC officials said they are aware of a new report from Norway of a distinct form of swine flu seen in three patients that seems to have an unusual ability to settle deep into the lungs and therefore could potentially be more dangerous."
