Abstract
The first infections of the new H1N1 “swine flu” virus were announced in April 2009 Soon after case numbers were observed to be climbing virtually worldwide In most cases infections appeared rather mild with typical flu symptoms In contrast to the seasonal flu however cases with vomiting and diarrhea were also reported and the affected age group seemed to be younger Sudden and fatal progression affected mostly those under 60 years of age The autopsy reports of two fatalities with the new influenza are discussed Multiple postmortem swabs from the nose and throat area determined the H1N1RNA
