At the time of writing, community transmission is becoming established in many areas in Australia, but the number of reported cases is likely to be an underestimate of the true incidence due to policies for testing. These guidelines provide advice to clinicians on the use of antiviral agents for H1N1 influenza 09, drawing on studies of ata on H1N1 drugs are not eme, but the d prophylaxis

Swine- Origin Influenza A (H1N1) Pandemic Revisited
Since the beginning of January 2008 sporadic cases of infections in humans caused by influenza A (H1N1) virusresistant to available anti-influenza drugs have been reported worldwide [1,2]. The World Health Organization (WHO) in its report published on 18 March 2009 indicated that during weeks 1-4 (28 December 08-24 January 09), the level of overall influenza activity in the world increased. Dur...

Swine flue is a highly contagious acute respiratory disease caused by a subtype of influenza A virus. Herein we present three patients with H1N1 infection complicated with pulmonary thromboembolism. The patients had chest pain and unexplained dyspnea. Imaging studies showed bilateral hilar predominance. Computed tomographic angiography confirmed bilateral thromboembolism (an unusual presentatio...

متن کاملDifferential Induction of Type I and Type III Interferons by Swine and Human Origin H1N1 Influenza A Viruses in Porcine Airway Epithelial Cells
Interferons (IFNs) have been shown to inhibit influenza A virus (IAV) replication and play an essential role in controlling viral infection. Here we studied the kinetics and magnitude of induction of type I and type III IFN transcripts by primary porcine airway epithelial cells (pAECs) in response to swine and human origin IAV. We observed that swine influenza viruses (SIV) replicate more effic...
متن کاملNew Anti-Influenza Agents: Targeting the Virus Entry and Genome Transcription
Introduction: The emergence and spread of the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in 2009 indicates a limitation in the strategy to control the infection, despite a long-established vaccination programme and approved antivirals. Production the proper vaccine against influenza is difficult due to the genetic recombination of virus in the event of pandemic and co-circulation of drug-resistance variants...
