Earlier CDC reports found that H1N1 swine flu deaths tended to be caused by direct infection of the lungs with the new flu bug. That may have caused doctors to let down their guard against bacterial infections in flu patients.
the CDC now advises doctors who suspect bacterial infections in swine flu patients to treat them with anti-flu drugs and antibiotics.
The CDC report carries dramatic examples of H1N1 swine flu deaths with bacterial infections:

* A 2-month-old girl, with no known underlying condition, died with pneumococcal infection after an illness of only one day.
* A 9-year-old girl with no reported underlying condition died with a strep infection after an illness of six days.
* A 34-year-old man with high blood pressure and obesity died with pneumococcal infection after an illness of about three days.
