Oseltamivir in human avian influenza infection
Avian influenza A viruses continue to cause disease outbreaks in humans, and extrapulmonary infection is characteristic. In vitro studies demonstrate the activity of oseltamivir against avian viruses of the H5, H7 and H9 subtypes. In animal models of lethal infection, oseltamivir treatment and prophylaxis limit viral replication and improve survival. Outcomes are influenced by the virulence of ...
متن کاملHuman infection by avian influenza A H5N1.
The Southeast Asian outbreak of the highly lethal avian influenza A H5N1 infection in humans is unlikely to abate because of the enormous number of backyard farms providing poultry as the main source of food protein in developing countries. This increases the risk of the emergence of a reassortant pandemic influenza virus with improved human-to-human transmissibility. Currently triage of suspec...
متن کاملFatal Avian Influenza (H5N1) Infection in Human, China
positive samples have been identifi ed during outbreaks. Molecular methods may serve as an adjunct to traditional laboratory methods by improving sensitivity and also enabling diagnosis of Shigella spp. outbreaks among remote populations where specimen storage and transport requirements may be challenging (10). We describe extremely high rates of resistance of Shigella spp. to cotrimoxazole, th...
متن کاملSubclinical Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Infection in Human, Vietnam
Laboratory-confirmed cases of subclinical infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) virus in humans are rare, and the true number of these cases is unknown. We describe the identification of a laboratory-confirmed subclinical case in a woman during an influenza A(H5N1) contact investigation in northern Vietnam.
متن کاملHuman Infection with Avian Influenza a (h7n9) Virus
BACKGROUND Characterisation of the severity profile of human infections with influenza viruses of animal origin is a part of pandemic risk assessment, and an important part of the assessment of disease epidemiology. Our objective was to assess the clinical severity of human infections with avian influenza A H7N9 virus, which emerged in China in early 2013. METHODS We obtained information abou...
