There will be concern for these patients as cancer treatment can weaken the immune system, making it harder to fight infection.

After the 2009 pandemic, the winter flu jab was upgraded to give protection against swine flu so anyone who was immunised this flu season should have some protection.

And so far flu viruses are circulating at lower levels in the UK than last year.

Swine flu caused a pandemic in 2009 when the virus jumped from animals into people and then spread rapidly around the world.

Since then things have calmed down and it has joined the pantheon of other flus that lead to outbreaks every winter.

In the past seven days, 31 outbreaks of swine flu were reported in the UK -including eight in hospitals.

Despite still being known as "swine flu" - there's nothing special about it and it is no more or less scary than other types of flu.

I've just had a call from staff at Leicester Royal Infirmary confirming the number of patients on the haematology wards with swine flu is 14 not 16.

The spokesperson from Public Health England says he got his figures mixed up.

This number is not expected to rise but we will be getting more information on this from the hospital soon.  

According to the latest Public Health England data, 40 flu outbreaks were reported in the week ending February 7.

A total of 22 of these were in schools, with two testing positive for swine flu, while 16 outbreaks were in care homes and two in hospitals.  

The swine flu virus is:

• A respiratory disease, caused by a strain of the influenza type A virus known as H1N1
• H1N1 is the same strain which causes seasonal outbreaks of flu in humans on a regular basis
• Although the strain may have originated in pigs, it is now a wholly human disease
• It can be spread from person to person by coughing and sneezing

The trust, which runs the LRI, said staff were following guidelines to prevent the risk of infection by wearing masks, gowns and gloves and washing hands regularly. 

A spokesperson said "as many frontline staff as possible" were being vaccinated and wards 39, 40 and 41 have "received increased cleaning". 

Liz Collins, lead nurse for infection prevention at Leicester's Hospitals, said: "We have seen an increase in the number of flu cases in February, in both the community and across our hospital sites.

"All necessary precautions were taken and these patients have been isolated to avoid an outbreak.

"We ask visitors who have cold and flu symptoms, such as a cough, runny nose or high temperature, to stay away from the hospital to avoid passing on their infections to our patients."

Sixteen cancer patients have been diagnosed with swine flu at the LRI and a further three at the Glenfield site.

The illness is affecting patients across three wards at the hospital and a further three patients at the city's Glenfield Hospital.

Dr Philip Monk, from Public Health England, said it was unlikely it would ever be known how the flu got onto the wards.

"It is a normal winter - and swine flu is the normal flu and the number of cases is not that high across the East Midlands," he said.

"Obviously, when it gets into a clinical setting where people are very vulnerable then this is a difficult situation to manage."

"Everything is being done and it is under control", he added.
