BACKGROUND. The world is facing a novel H1N1 influenza pandemic. A pandemic scare with a similar influenza virus in 1976 resulted in the vaccination of nearly 45 million persons. We hypothesized that prior receipt of the 1976 "swine flu" vaccine would enhance immune responses to the 2009 novel H1N1 influenza strain. METHODS. A prospective, volunteer sample of employees aged > or = 55 years at a...

Pityriasis rosea is a distinct papulosquamous skin eruption that has been attributed to viral reactivation, certain drug exposures or rarely, vaccination. Herein, we reported a clinicopathlogically typical case of pityriasis rosea that developed after the H1N1 vaccination. With a global H1N1 vaccination program against the pandemic H1N1 influenza, patients should be apprised of the possibility ...

background preventing the seasonal or pandemic outbreak of influenza can be powerful and cost-effective. objectives in this study, we constructed a novel virus-like particle (vlp) platform that contains two hemagglutinin (ha) subtypes and evaluated immunogenicity of constructed vlp in mice. materials and methods this recombinant candidate vaccine model resulted in the expression of two has of h...

The World Health Organization declared that a new strain of novel swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus was responsible for the pandemic infection in June 2009. We report a case of encephalitis diagnosed as the H1N1 virus infection. We describe a 17-year-old patient who had a seizure attack, diagnosed with a H1N1 virus infection via real time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-...

Since the outbreak of novel influenza A (H1N1) in 2009, various neurologic complications have been cited.[1][1] 2-month-old girl died a rapidly progressive encephalopathy after infection. MRI, performed 12 hours from onset symptoms, showed bilateral and symmetric lesions

A new strain of influenza A virus (novel influenza A H1N1) that originated in swine has rapid ly spread from the initial outbreak in Mexico and the southern United States to Canada and many countries in Eu-1 Because many infected people are young, 2 the care of pregnant and lactating women is a concern. 3–6 According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , the novel H1N1 influenz...
