Adamantane-Resistant Influenza Infection During the 2004–05 Season
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adamantane-resistant influenza A is an emerging problem, but infections caused by resistant and susceptible viruses have not been compared. We identified adamantane resistance in 47% of 152 influenza A virus (H3N2) isolates collected during 2005. Resistant and susceptible viruses caused similar symptoms and illness duration. The prevalence of resistance was highest in children.

Antiviral Prescriptions to U.S. Ambulatory Care Visits with a Diagnosis of Influenza before and after High Level of Adamantane Resistance 2005–06 Season
BACKGROUND Rapid emergence of influenza A viruses resistance to anti-influenza drugs has been observed in the past five years. Our objective was to compare antiviral prescription patterns of ambulatory care providers to patients with a diagnosis of influenza before and after the 2005-2006 influenza season, which was temporally concordant with the emergence of adamantane resistance. We also dete...
متن کاملA comprehensive surveillance of adamantane resistance among human influenza A virus isolated from mainland China between 1956 and 2009.
BACKGROUND Adamantane-derived drugs have been used for treatment and prophylaxis of influenza A virus infection for many years worldwide. Rapid surveillance of antiviral drug resistance is important for appropriate clinical guideline development. Here, we retrospectively assessed adamantane resistance among different influenza A subtypes (H1N1, H3N2 and H5N1) over 53 years (1956-2009) in mainla...

The main option in reducing the impact of influenza is immunoprophylaxis with an inactivated vaccine, a preventive measure particularly recommended for groups with a high risk of complications. Antiviral drugs represent another therapeutic chance to reduce deaths, complications, duration of hospitalization and could play a role in prevention of the infection by chemio-prophylactic action and by...

For over a decade virtually all A(H3N2) influenza viruses have been resistant to the adamantane class of antivirals. However, during the 2017 influenza season in Australia, 15/461 (3.3%) adamantane-sensitive A(H3N2) viruses encoding serine at residue 31 of the M2 protein were detected, more than the total number identified globally during the last 6 years. A return to wide circulation of adaman...
متن کاملAdamantane resistance among influenza A viruses isolated early during the 2005-2006 influenza season in the United States.
CONTEXT The adamantanes, amantadine and rimantadine, have been used as first-choice antiviral drugs against community outbreaks of influenza A viruses for many years. Rates of viruses resistant to these drugs have been increasing globally. Rapid surveillance for the emergence and spread of resistant viruses has become critical for appropriate treatment of patients. OBJECTIVE To investigate th...
