1 Update of 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza 衛生署疾病管制局中區傳染病防治醫療網王任賢指揮官

2 Update of ph1n1 influenza 各國流行病學資料 病毒之毒性 ph1n1 (H1N1pdm) 流感重症之臨床表現 ph1n1 流感輕症之轉診準則 克流感之治療與預防效果 克流感抗藥性病毒株之流行病學及臨床重要性 sh1n1 疫苗是否對 ph1n1 有交叉保護力

3 Global status of human infection with H1N1 virus and influenza pandemic preparedness

4 Background Seasonal influenza epidemics occur every year Caused by existing virus families of viruses that evolve over time Influenza pandemics differ in important ways Infrequent events (1918, 1957, 1968) Emergence & spread (among people) of new family of virus Can result in higher levels of illness, hospitalization & death Can have different epidemiological and clinical features Can significantly affect social functions

5 Brief Timeline of Events Strong concern that avian H5N1 could evolve into next pandemic Pandemic preparedness actions started by some countries April : outbreak of influenza-like illness in Veracruz, Mexico, Reported to WHO 15-17: two cases of newa(h1n1) virus infection identified in Southern California 23: new influenza A(H1N1) virus infection confirmed in several patients in Mexico

6 Timeline of Events April : WHO declares public health event of international concern (PHEIC) 27: WHO declares pandemic phase 4-sustained community transmission in Mexico 29 : WHO declares pandemic phase 5 (2 countries affected) June : WHO declares pandemic phase 6 (spread to 2 WHO regions) In 9 weeks: all WHO regions reporting cases of ph1n1 2009

7 WHO global pandemic response plan Monitor and track disease progression Generate and transfer knowledge Guide and support countries Accelerate access to vaccines Accelerate access to antivirals Global health leadership and collaboration

8 Critical observation Pandemic virus spread worldwide very rapidly Preparedness has made a very significant difference Continued work still needed to improve awareness, knowledge, national and international capacities Many remaining significant uncertainties Will important clinical, epidemiological or viral features change? Will other events intervene such as changes in H5N1 activity? How much vaccine will available?

9 Critical lessons Flexibility is critical Re-examine & modify existing plans, surveillence and control strategies to meet realities of the situation Communications Global solidarity is a necessity & not a luxury In a globalized world, viruses spread worldwide in weeks while rumors and fears affecting economic spread in hours No country can address this situation without help & cooperation of all other countries Sharing of access to vaccines & other critical benefits and capacities as important as sharing of information & viruses

10 Pandemic impact in WPR Pandemic impact still remains uncertain and is currently being monitoring Impact of the pandemic on a population has many dimensions: health, social and economic No reported severe impact on health care service as a result of acute respiratory failure Pressures on local hospitals and potential economic loss reported from some countries

11 病毒之毒性

12 2009 pandemic (H1N1) virus To date, viruses characterized are antigenically similar Sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors Resistant to amantadine and rimantadine Increasing number of sporadic oseltamivir resistant virus isolates No genetic markers of virulence identified Viruses from severe cases do not have different genetic sequences

13 Pathogenesis and transmissibility of ph1n1 virus in animal model Intranasal inoculation of ferrets, guinea pigs, and monkey with ph1n1 vs sh1n1 Increase morbidity Replication in high titer in lung tissues Diarrhea and virus recovery from intestines Less efficient respiratory droplet transmission Virulence of ph1n1 is potentially higher than sh1n1 Some adaptation, eg E627K in PB2, is likely required to become more transmissible in humans

14 No difference in viral factors between severe/fatal and mild cases Most patients show very mild symptoms similar to seasonal flu, while those in high risk groups and otherwise healthy younger generation may develop severe illness So far, there is no significant difference in genetic and phenotypic characteristics between virus isolated from severe/fatal and mild cases

15 Summary of genetic and antigenic analysis of ph1n1 The combination of gene segments of ph1n1 virus was not reported previously Reassortment had occurred between North American triple reassortment and Eurasian lineage of swine viruses No genetic markers for severe disease ph1n1 viruses circulating worldwide are genetically and antigenically homogeneous, suggesting a single and recent introduction into humans

16 ph1n1 流感重症之臨床 表現

17 Distribution of pandemic cases by age Lab-confirmed in Chile, EU & EFTA, Japan, Panama, Mexico % of cases

18 ph1n1 in USA ( 止 ) 確診病例 : 28,210 住院治療病例 : 6506 (23%) 死亡病例 : 435 (1.54%, 6.69%)

19 Clinical picture of ph1n1 infection Most people have uncomplicated and self resolving disease Severe or fatal illness occur most often in younger adults 50-80% have conditions such as asthma, other lung disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, immunosuppression, neurologic disorders, pregnancy Obesity may be newly recognized risk factor but needs more study 20-50% severe illness occurring in previously healthy people Majority of known deaths associated with respiratory failure Consistent with viral pneumonia, multi-organ failure, shock Bacterial co-infection has not been prominent

41 Conclusion Earlier antiviral treatment increases survival likelihood overall Oseltamivir beneficial if started 8 days from onset Early signs and symptoms are nonspecific

42 克流感抗藥性病毒株之 流行病學及臨床重要性

43 克流感抗藥性 : sh1n1 在 2007 年克流感抗藥性大人僅 1-2%, 小孩 5-6%, 日本較高也只有 18%, 但只有一例是瑞樂沙有抗藥性, 社區型的幾乎沒有抗藥性 流感季節首度在歐洲出現 H274Y 之突變株, 克流感抗藥性增加 1500 倍 全世界 95% 之分離株是 H274Y 之突變株, 可見其 fitness 是不差的

44 克流感抗藥性 : ph1n1 至 權世界之分離株有 162, 株抗藥株分離出, 全部是 H274Y 突變株 病例分布 : Under prophylaxis: 丹麥 日本 (4) 加拿大 香港 中國 (no evidence of transmission) 免疫異常 + 克流感治療 : 美國 (2) 克流感治療 : 新加坡 沒接觸過克流感 : 香港

45 Oseltamivir resistance in ph1n1 virus Small number of sporadic detection All with H274Y mutation No reassortment with seasonal H1N1 Geographically dispersed- Denmark, Japan, HK SAR, Canada, Singapore, USA >50% detect in PEP prophylaxis failure (75 mg once daily) 1 in nondrug recipient travelling from San Fancisco No apparent onward transmission Mostly mild self-limited illness Except immunocompromised hosts

46 Questions regarding Oseltamivir Resistance during prophylaxis ph1n1 How often is this occurring? What are the viral dynamics? Transmission of resistant virus from treated ill index case? Resistant emergence in contact with prophylaxis? How often is non-compliance contributory? If resistance emergence during incubation period, might therapeutic oseltamivir doses reduce risk? Should zanamivir be used preferentially when prophylaxis is indicated?

47 sh1n1 疫苗是否對 ph1n1 有交叉保護力

48 Serum NA in the elderly crossreactive with ph1n1 virus About 40% of the elderly over 65 y/o possessed serum antibody cross-reactive to ph1n1 virus, while the majority of children and adult younger than 65 did not have such antibody Vaccination with seasonal vaccines did neither induce nor boost immune response in any age group

49 病毒性呼吸道檢體採集 之安全措施

50 Specimen Collection Kit Personal protective equipment Collection vials with VTM Polyester fiber-tipped applicators Tongue depressors Items for blood collection Secondary container/ cooler Ice packs Suspect case forms A pen or marker for labeling samples Labels

51 Personal Protective Equipment Gloves Mask Gown Eye protection

52 Polyester Fiber-Tipped Applicator Should be drayon, rayon, or polyester fiber swabs Do not use calcium alginated or cotton swabs nor ones with wooden sticks; they inhibit PCR

53 How to choose VTM Can be made in a lab or purchased Different types of VTM: For collection of animal specimens For viral isolation For molecular testing (Do not use phosphate-based media If VTM is not available, 100% ethanol can be used for molecular testing

54 Viral Transport Media Viral Transport Media

55 Storing VTM Sterile collection vials containing 2-3 ml of VTM Vials can be stored in a freezer at -20 ºC until use Vials can be stored for short periods of time at 4-6 ºC

56 How to Safely And Correctly Collect Specimens Target region for seasonal influenza Target region for H5N1 detection Image obtained from

57 When to Collect CDC recommends laboratory testing for: Suspected cases Symptoms consistent with influenza Epidemiologic link to avian influenza A (H5N1)

58 Nasopharyngeal Swab 1. Insert dry swab into nostril and back to nasopharynx 2. Leave in place for a few seconds 3. Slowly remove swab while slightly rotating it

59 Nasopharyngeal Swab continued 4. Use a different swab for the other nostril 5. Put tip of swab into vial containing VTM, breaking applicator s stick

60 Oropharyngeal Swab 1. Ask the subject to open his or her mouth 2. Depress the tongue 3. Swab the posterior pharynx 4. Avoid the tonsils

61 How to Store Respiratory Specimens For specimens in VTM: Transport to laboratory as soon as possible Store specimens at 4 C before and during transportation within 48 hours Store specimens at -70 C beyond 48 hours Do not store in standard freezer keep on dry ice or in refrigerator Avoid freeze-thaw cycles Better to keep on ice for a week than to have repeat freeze and thaw

62 Transporting Specimens from Field to Lab

63 Packing Specimens for Transportation Keep specimens at 4 ºC Fill a cooler with ice packs or coolant packs Double-bag specimens if you use dry ice Include an itemized list of specimens with identification numbers and laboratory instructions
