Clinical implications of NAI resistance |
| Dharan NJ, Gubarcva LV, Meyer JJ, et al. Infections with oseltamivir-resistant influenza A(H1N1) virus in the United States. JAMA (2009);301(10): 1034-1041. This study compares people infected with oseltamivir-resistant and oseltamivir-susceptible strains of H1N1 during the 2007-08 season in the USA. The authors found no differences in patient characteristics, symptoms, or severity of illness but report that four patients infected with resistant strains died. |

This paper describes an outbreak of resistant H1N1 infections in four patients in a Dutch hospital in February 2008. Three immunocompromised patients became ill after exposure to a patient who was sick with a resistant H1N1 strain. Genetic analysis showed that the viruses all matched, indicating that there was person-to-person in the hospital. |
