2009 Dec 9 – NEJM Correspondence: A Community Cluster of Oseltamivir-Resistant Cases of 2009 H1N1 Influenza

Published at www.nejm.org December 9, 2009 (10.1056/NEJMc0910448)
To the Editor: Oseltamivir-resistant infection with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus has so far been described only rarely and is conferred by the H275Y substitution in the neuraminidase enzyme.1


Only 3 of the 32 patients with oseltamivir-resistant infection reported on as of this writing were not receiving oseltamivir when the resistant viruses were detected, and ongoing community transmission has not yet been shown.1
