results out of 253 cases confirmed for influenza a (h1n1), 9 women and 11men had died. amongst these cases the minimum and maximum age was3.5 and90 years, respectively. also, from the 20 confirmed cases of influenza a (h1n1) that had died, 16 cases had at least one underlying disease. conclusions there was no significant association between mortality of confirmed cases of influenza a (h1n1) and...

As of May 19, 2009, a total of 5,469 confirmed or probable cases of human infection with a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus had been documented in 47 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, the virus had spread to 41 countries, with a total of 4,774 cases reported in countries outside the United States. Because producing a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus vaccine will take several months,...

BACKGROUND In response to the novel influenza A H1N1 outbreak in the NY City area, 6090 patient samples were submitted over a 5-week period for a total of 14,114 viral diagnostic tests, including rapid antigen, direct immunofluorescence (DFA), viral culture and PCR. Little was known about the performance of the assays for the detection of novel H1N1 in the background of seasonal H1N1, H3N2 and ...

conclusions this case highlights the potential severity of h1n1 infections and the utility of considering cardiac tamponade in patients presenting with influenza symptoms and circulatory collapse. case presentation we describe a case of a young female with no prior cardiovascular history who presents with a pericardial effusion and shock secondary to cardiac tamponade from pericarditis due to h...

In 2015, a novel influenza A(H1N1) virus was isolated from a boy in China who had severe pneumonia. The virus was a genetic reassortant of Eurasian avian-like influenza A(H1N1) (EA-H1N1) virus. The hemagglutinin, neuraminidase, and matrix genes of the reassortant virus were highly similar to genes in EA-H1N1 swine influenza viruses, the polybasic 1 and 2, polymerase acidic, and nucleoprotein ge...

conclusions clinical signs and symptoms presented by patients infected with the influenza a h1n1 virus were similar to those described for seasonal influenza, although with more gastrointestinal disorders. results among the 232 enrolled cases, 126 patients (54.31%) were male and 106 patients (45.89%) were female. real time reverse rt-pcr test revealed that 18.1% of suspected children were posit...

Background: Influenza virus is a major infectious pathogen of the respiratory system causing a high degree of morbidity and mortality annually. The worldwide vaccines are decided and produced annually by World Health Organization and licensed companies based on the samples collected from all over the world. The aim of this study was to determine phylogenecity and heterogenecity of the circulati...

genomic signal processing is a relatively new field in bioinformatics, in which signal processing algorithms and methods are used to study functional structures in the dna. an appropriate mapping of the dna sequence into one or more numerical sequences enables the use of many digital signal processing tools in the analysis of different genomic sequences. also, a novel influenza a (h1n1) virus o...
