UNMH Admissions for
36.1% (22/61) of patients with positives tests were admitted to UNMH
2013-2014 Influenza Season
Of Note: Only patients who are to be hospitalized should be tested for respiratory viruses. Thus, this
likely does not represent the true burden of illness in the community or the severity of disease.

Influenza
• RNA viruses Orthomyxoviradae
• Influenza A
– Most morbidity & mortality
– Pandemic
• Influenza B
– > 60% Yamagata
– > 30% Victoria
• Influenza C
Structure of Virus
• Glycoprotein's.
– Hemagglutinin(HA)
• attaches to sialic acid
residues on host cells
– Neuraminidase (NA)
• glycoproteins attach to
host cells and releases
viral progeny
• Once infected, direct
necrotic effects on human
cells as virus begins to use
host cell machinery for
replication

Transmission & Prevention:
• Transmission
– Person to Person: Large particle
respiratory droplet (cough or
sneeze) within 6 ft or less
– Indirect contact via hand transfer
of virus-contaminated surfaces
or objects to mucosal surfaces of
the face
– All respiratory secretions, bodily
fluids, including diarrheal stools
are potentially infectious
– Airborne transmission via small
particle aerosols may occur
• Procedures
• Prevention
–
–
–
–
Vaccinations
Good hand hygiene
Cough etiquette
Wear mask if sick and on clinical
service
– Wear mask if unable to get
vaccinated
UNM’s Vaccine
• Efficacy for Influ A 70-90%
• Fluzone
– Split-virus vaccine
– Contains H3N2, H1N1, B
– Trivalent vs. Quadravalent
– Standard dosing vs High dose for Patients > 65 yo
• Flublok
– Egg free, grown in cell culture
• Early vaccination of inpatients

Laboratory Testing
• Tricore runs all tests
• No clinic Ag testing
• 3 types of tests available
– DFA
– RESPAN
– FLURSV
• Coinfections: ~10%
– Usually rhinovirus and flu or RSV
– 1 Influenza A & B
Anti-flu therapy and prophylaxis
• Neuraminidase
Inhibitors:
– oseltamivir (Tamiflu)
– zanamivir (Relenza)
• Japan has two others
– laninamivir
– peramivir, IV form
• Adamantanes:
– Amantadine
– Rimantadine
• Ribavirin
Targets of Antivirals
Itzstein, M :Nature Review of Drug discovery,
vol 6 2007
Zanamivir
•
•
•
•
•
Trade name: Relenza
Higher affinity to the NA binding site than does native sialic acid.
Poorly absorbed in GI tract and thus delivered as an inhaled agent
Only 15% of drug deposits within lower respiratory tract
Can precipitate bronchospasm
– in pts with pulm dz
– cant be used in mechanical ventilation
•
•
•
•
Clinical trials for optimal dosing for IV form, compassionate use.
RX:10 mg inhaled twice daily for 5 days (approved for > 7 yr old)
Prophylaxis is given once daily for 10 days (up to28 days) age> 5
Higher activity for influenza B & H1N1 strains than oseltamivir, less activity
against H3N2
• Doesn’t have the H275Y neuraminidase mutation
• N294S (N295S) neuraminidase mutation seen in immunocompromised
causes decreased sensitivity to zanamivir
Oseltamivir
•
•
•
•
Trade name: Tamiflu
Prodrug converted in liver to active form
Dosing based on weight and renal function
Most common side effect is GI upset, improved
with food
• Neurologic side effects reported in children
mostly in Japan
• No IV admin
• Resistance can occur
CDC
Combination Therapy
• zanamivir and oseltamivir has been studied but
showed no benefit and greater viral loads
(competition for site)
• Triple combination of oseltamivir, amantadine
and ribavirin are being studied
– In vitro study (Hoopes, et al) looked promising
– Nguyen et al: looked at TCAD in murine model
• 90% survival with TCAD vs 20% with single agent oseltamivir
– Korean study (Kim et al)
• showed 24 pts, at 14 days 17% mortality for TCAD compared
with 35% oseltamivir alone
• low powered, no difference in 90 d mortality

Who Gets Treated
•
Antiviral treatment is recommended as early as possible for any patient with
confirmed or suspected influenza who
– is hospitalized;
– has severe, complicated, or progressive illness; or
– is at higher risk for influenza complications. This list includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
children aged younger than 2 years;
adults aged 65 years and older;
persons with chronic pulmonary (including asthma), cardiovascular (except hypertension alone), renal,
hepatic, hematological (including sickle cell disease), metabolic disorders (including diabetes mellitus),
or neurologic and neurodevelopment conditions (including disorders of the brain, spinal cord,
peripheral nerve, and muscle such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy [seizure disorders], stroke, intellectual
disability [mental retardation], moderate to severe developmental delay, muscular dystrophy, or spinal
cord injury);
persons with immunosuppression, including that caused by medications or by HIV infection;
women who are pregnant or postpartum (within 2 weeks after delivery);
persons aged younger than 19 years who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy;
American Indians/Alaska Natives;
persons who are morbidly obese (i.e., body-mass index is equal to or greater than 40); and
residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities.
– Consider in healthy individuals based on severity at presentation and how soon they present.
Prophylaxis
• Neuraminidase Inhibitors
– Close household contacts of persons with
influenza who have not received the vaccine and
who have comorbidities that could lead to
complications
– HCW who had not practiced proper precautions
– Person living in NH or LT care facilities
• Adamantanes class (amantidine and
rimantidine) are rarely used due to resistance
Summary Points
• Vaccinating health care workers is vital
• Vaccinate patients on admission when possible
• FLURSV has quickest turn around time, may be
preferred
• If influenza is suspected, start oseltamivir or
zanamivir (if available) before test results are
available.
• Avoid Adamantanes as all circulating flu is
resistant this year
