Following the initial outbreak of A/H1N1pdm09, periodic resurgences of the virus, with variable morbidity and mortality, have been reported from various parts of India including the temperate Kashmir region of northern India. An outbreak of A/H1N1 was reported in early 2015 across India with a high morbidity and mortality. We studied patients during the outbreak in Kashmir.
