[Reflection and Reaction] Solid-organ transplants and the risks of pandemic influenza
Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:00:00 +0100 | The Lancet Infectious Diseases
In March, 2009, a new strain of influenza A H1N1 was identified in Mexico that rapidly spread and developed into a pandemic affecting millions of people. Influenza A has been recognised as an important pathogen in immunocompromised people. In groups at greatest risk for severe infections, such as recipients of haemopoietic stem-cell transplants, mortality before the availability of neuraminidase inhibitors was 15%. Although morbidity and mortality in more recent studies have been lower, suggesting a positive effect of antiviral therapy with these drugs. The rapid increase of resistance to the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir in non-pandemic H1N1 has been a cause for concern. (Source: The Lancet Infectious Diseases)

Pandemic 2009 (A)H1N1 influenza (swine flu) - the Manitoba experience.
Sun, 25 Jul 2010 04:01:29 +0100 | Biochemistry and Cell Biology
Authors: Embree J The pattern of illness associated with the first wave of the pandemic influenza A H1N1 (swine flu) in the spring and early summer of 2009 in regions of the province of Manitoba in Canada was more severe, on a population basis, than any other northern hemisphere jurisdiction outside of Mexico City. Manitoba accounted for 50% of intensive care admissions and 25% of pediatric admissions, but only 6.5% of deaths, attributable to the virus in Canada during the first wave. Activation and use of emergency response protocols embedded within the routine health authority management system and good communication between the diagnostic laboratory, public health, and health care practitioners was effective in coping with the sudden need for hospitalization of large numbers of chil...

M. Daudé, J.M. Mansuy, J. Guitard, G. Basse, L. Esposito, J. Izopet, L. Rostaing, N. Kamar. Influenza A (H1N1) virus-induced hepatocellular injury in a kidney transplant patient.Transpl Infect Dis 2010. All rights reserved.Abstract: The swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus is mainly responsible for flu. No hepatitis attributable to H1N1 virus has been previously documented. Herein, we report on a kidney transplant patient who developed influenza H1N1 virus-induced hepatocellular injury. The patient's body temperature was only somewhat elevated, and pulmonary and flu symptoms were mild. H1N1 virus was detected by polymerase chain reaction assay in nasopharyngeal and bronchoalveolar swabs, as well as in the serum. The hepatocellular injury episode resolved after the patient had been placed...
