DOCTORS will miss at least one in five H1N1 patients here because their symptoms will be so mild, said an infectious diseases expert on Wednesday.
Or they could exhibit no symptoms at all, and still pass on the virus. This means Singapore can expect its H1N1 numbers, now at 220, to spike sharply.
Dr Leo Yee Sin, head of the Communicable Disease Centre, gave this gloomy prognosis on Wednesday when she released results of an examination of Singapore's first 50 patients.
