    As more patients are tested positive for H1N1 virus infection in major Norwegian cities, doctors fear that Norway is facing a possible endemic outbreak of the disease also know as the swine flu.

    As many as 84 cases of swine flu have been registered so far by the Akershus University Hospital east of Oslo, Jan Erik Berdal, a doctor in the hospital’s infectious disease section, told reporters.

    “We are facing an epidemic. It seems to me that it has really taken off now. It seems that we are at the top or in the middle of such an epidemic,” Berdal said.
