Pages

  215-219

Abstract

 Objective: Human pandemic INFLUENZA H1N1 virus as the cause of febrile respiratory infection ranging from self-limited to severe illness has spread globally during 2009. Signs and symptoms of upper and lower respiratory tract involvement, fever, sore throat, rhinitis, myalgia, malaise, headache, chills and fatigue are common. In this article we report the clinical presentation of INFLUENZA A (H1N1) in our hospitalized children.Methods: Between September and October 2009, all children requiring hospitalization for suspected H1N1 infection were transferred to Pediatric INFECTIOUS DISEASES ward. For all patients the throat swab was taken for PCR testing to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of H1N1 INFLUENZA A. Case patients consisted of H1N1-positive patients. Age, sex, symptoms, signs, laboratory data, CXR changes, details of therapy, duration of admission and patient outcome were documented.Findings: Twenty patients were H1N1 positive. Mean age of the patients was 65.50 ±9.8 months.Fever and coughs were with 55% the most commonly reported symptoms. Other presentations included vomiting (55%), abdominal pain (25%), cyanosis and dyspnea (5%), body ache (40%), rhinorrhea (80%), sore throat (35%), head stiffness (5%) and loss of conciousness (5%). The median temperature of the patients was 38.5oC. Chest X-Ray changes were noted in 13 out of 20 patients (65%). Mean leukocyte and platelet was 6475 and 169000 respectively. Seventeen (85%) patients were treated with OSELTAMIVIR, 3 patients received adjuvant antibiotics. The mean duration of admission was 3 days. Three patients required intensive care support and all of them expired due to superinfection.Conclusion: Our data confirm that the presentation of INFLUENZA in children is variable and 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA may cause leucopenia and thrombocytopenia.
