Prolonged shedding of amantadine- and oseltamivir-resistant influenza A(H3N2) virus with dual mutations in an immunocompromised infant.

چکیده
In this study, we report a case of multidrug-resistant influenza A(H3N2) virus isolated from an immunosuppressed patient with prolonged viral shedding. We also describe the genetic characterization of the haemagglutinin, neuraminidase and M2 influenza genes. The virus contained the substitutions E119V in neuraminidase and V27A in M2, which produce resistance to oseltamivir and adamantanes, respectively. This is the first report of this dual mutation pattern in multidrug-resistant influenza A(H3N2) virus.

Progressive emergence of an oseltamivir‐resistant A(H3N2) virus over two courses of oseltamivir treatment in an immunocompromised paediatric patient
A minor viral population of oseltamivir-resistant A(H3N2) viruses (E119V neuraminidase mutation) was selected and maintained in a continually infected immunocompromised child following initial oseltamivir treatment. A subsequent course of oseltamivir given 7 weeks later rapidly selected for the E119V variant resulting in a near-pure population of the resistant virus. The study highlights the ch...

Immunocompromised patients are predisposed to infections caused by influenza virus. Influenza virus may produce considerable morbidity, including protracted illness and prolonged viral shedding in these patients, thus prompting higher doses and prolonged courses of antiviral therapy. This approach may promote the emergence of resistant strains. Characterization of neuraminidase (NA) inhibitor (...
متن کاملProlonged Influenza Virus Shedding and Emergence of Antiviral Resistance in Immunocompromised Patients and Ferrets
Immunocompromised individuals tend to suffer from influenza longer with more serious complications than otherwise healthy patients. Little is known about the impact of prolonged infection and the efficacy of antiviral therapy in these patients. Among all 189 influenza A virus infected immunocompromised patients admitted to ErasmusMC, 71 were hospitalized, since the start of the 2009 H1N1 pandem...

Presently, the resistance of Influenza A virus isolates causes great difficulty for the prevention and treatment of influenza A virus infection. It is important to establish a drug-resistance detection method for epidemiological study and personalized medicine in the clinical setting. Consequently, a cost-effective oligonucleotide microarray visualization method, which was based on quantum dot-...
متن کاملA novel neuraminidase deletion mutation conferring resistance to oseltamivir in clinical influenza A/H3N2 virus.
Neuraminidase (NA) mutations responsible for influenza resistance to oseltamivir vary according to the NA subtype; in influenza A/H3N2 viruses, NA-gene mutations occur predominantly at codons E119 and R292. In an oseltamivir-resistant influenza A/H3N2 virus isolated from an immunocompromised child after 107 days of cumulative treatment, the NA gene contained 3 aa substitutions (N146K, S219T, an...
