Multidrug-resistant pandemic (H1N1) 2009 infection in immunocompetent child

AliReza Eshaghi et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2011 Aug.

Abstract

Recent case reports describe multidrug-resistant influenza A pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection in immunocompromised patients exposed to neuraminidase inhibitors because of an I223R neuraminidase mutation. We report a case of multidrug-resistant pandemic (H1N1) 2009 bearing the I223R mutation in an ambulatory child with no previous exposure to neuraminidase inhibitors.
