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.
