10 Influenza: Transmissibility Household Transmission Mean time: 2.6 days Relative susceptibility 18 yo: 1.96 (p = 0.005) 50 yo: 0.17 (p = 0.03) School Transmission Each student infects 2.4 others (94% CI ) R 0 Estimates: 2009 H1N1: H1N1: Cauchemez S et al. N Engl J Med. 2009;361: Yang et al. Science. 2009; 326:

11 2009 H1N1 in ICU (Winnepeg) 1. Viral Pneumonitis: Rapidly progressive diffuse bilateral infiltrates very severe requiring advanced ventilatory techniques and 100% oxygen with marked predilection for young (10-50 yrs); these represent 75-80% of adult cases 2. Severe COPD or athsma exacerbation lasts for weeks, CXR clear 3. Severe bacterial pneumonia complicating H1N1 lobar or bronchopneumonia Typically S. pneumoniae or S. aureus ± septic shock 4. Destabilization of chronic disease (CHF, CRF, cardiopulmonary disease, coronary syndromes, diabetes) CXR variable; do well clinically Kumar et al. JAMA. 2009; 302:

12 Radiologic Findings Personal Communications: A. Kumar, Winepeg

13 Influenza: Pathogenesis Great genetic stability (to date) Replication Efficient in respiratory tree Documented replication in the GI tract of ferrets with nasal infection Possible replication in other sites Viremia appears to be rare

14 Characteristics of 2009 H1N1 Kumar et al. JAMA. 2009; 302:

17 Influenza Mortality: Trends Over Time Fiore et al. MMWR. 2010; 59: 1-47.

18 Gaps in Knowledge Global capacity for detection of influenza viruses by molecular methods Burden and character of disease in low-resource settings Significant differences in resource utilization and types of patients severely affected Understanding of mechanisms of viral transmission Pathogenesis of disease Genetic and other host factors related to susceptibility Optimal use of antivirals and antibiotics Messaging with changing information Conducting meaningful research Writing Committee of the WHO Consultation on Clinical Aspects of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza.
