      Once again in the course of a short time, the humanity confront a great biological threat of global trascendence, the influenza virus had showed through a mutation your dreadful face. The chance of cross the interspecies barrier in each one of the pandemic outbrakes has been a tool that stripped our vulnerability, in spite of all the advances in epidemiologic control of the various diseases.

      In this article we make a general revisión of the biological aspects of the virus, its patogenicity and the related mechanisms for producing pandemic outbrakes included posible reasons about the origin of it, and the actual emergency related with A (H1N1) flu, the appropiated actions to avoid it and treat it.
