Editorial

We are happy to present the second issue of Capsule. Continuing in its earlier format we are presenting the interesting cases, activities and events of our department. This capsule features a lead article on H1N1 Influenza. Though, the media hype about Influenza has reached the ebb, the virus is taking its toll silently and the reported total death in India has reached 844, with a whopping 24,932 getting infected with the virus! Karnataka is second on list of highest reported cases of H1N1Infuenza deaths with Bangalore and Mysore cities contributing to a major share of cases! Its time again we revise our knowledge about the killer virus and equip ourselves to take up the fight! In keeping with the times and trend, we have made Capsule accessible on the web at http://jsscapsule.blogspot.com. We thank Dr. Karuturi Subrahmanyam, Post graduate student Medicine JSSMC, for maintaining the Capsule blogspot.

We intend to introduce other sections in the Capsule which would be helpful for the post graduate readers and still keep its brevity. We thank all our readers for their encouragement and welcome there suggestions and critique, which can easily be posted at the blogspot. We hope this Capsule would give you a good reading time!

With best regards
