The latest WHO figures released on 11 October show there have been over 399,232 reported cases of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 swine flu worldwide, and at least 4,735 deaths.
In the WHO Western Pacific region, which includes Japan, the number of cases is over 118,702, with at least 432 deaths.
The global agency emphasized that these figures represent a great underestimate of the real situation, given that “countries are no longer required to test and report individual cases”.
