Respiratory VirusesCanada, 2007-2008 *68% H1N1; 32% H3N2
Influenza in Canada • approx. 5 million (1 in 6) infected/yr • 50-70,000 hospital admissions/yr • 4,000-6,000 death each year (6th leading cause of death) • 1.5 million work-days lost each year • >90% of serious morbidity/mortality in the elderly
Population-Based Surveillance Laboratory-Confirmed InfluenzaInpatients, Toronto 2005 Rate per 100,000/yr Incidence Mortality McGeer, TIBDN, Clin Infect Dis 2007
Influenza Virus • family Orthomyxoviridae • enveloped RNA virus, 80-120 nm • types A and B distinguishedby antigenic differences in nucleoprotein and matrix protein
InfluenzaTransmission • respiratory droplets • contact (direct, fomites) • ? airborne

InfluenzaComplications • pneumonia (viral, bacterial) • sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis • myocarditis, encephalitis,Reye’s syndrome
InfluenzaDiagnostic Specimens • NP swab/aspirate/washing • throat swab/washing • best yield if obtained within3 days of symptom onset
InfluenzaDiagnosis • antigen detection (DFA, EIA) • viral isolation • serology • RT-PCR
INFLUENZAAnti-Virals • Amantadine/Rimantadine • Neuraminidase inhibitors oseltamivir zanamivir
Amantadine/Rimantadine • M2 protein inhibitors • modest efficacy against influenza A; no activity against influenza B • toxicity • viral resistance(point mutations in M2 protein)
Neuraminidase Inhibitors • Zanamivir (Relenza)orally inhaled • Oseltamivir (Tamiflu)oral
Neuraminidase • promotes release of virus from infected cells • prevents formation of viral aggregates • prevents viral inactivationby respiratory mucus
Neuraminidase Inhibitors • active against influenza A and B • efficacy documented fortreatment and prophylaxis • safe, well tolerated
Neuraminidase InhibitorsTreatment Studies • approx. 30% reduction induration of symptoms (1-2 days) • approx. 40% reduction inseverity of symptom scores • reduced complications • reduced duration of viral shedding

Neuraminidase InhibitorsProphylaxis • Post exposure prophylaxis family/household contacts nursing home outbreaks • Seasonal prophylaxis
Anti-Viral Drug ResistanceUSA, 2008-2009 • Seasonal H1N1 - >99% oseltamivir resistant • Seasonal H3N2 - 100% amantadine resistant • Pandemic H1N1 - 0.5% oseltamivir resistant - 100% amantadine resistant CDC, Oct. 2009
Influenza Vaccine • inactivated whole – virus vaccine • intact purified virus particles • split – virus vaccine • lipid membrane disrupted • purified surface – antigen vaccine
Influenza Vaccine (2009-10) A/Brisbane/10/2007 (H3N2) A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1) B/Brisbane/60/2008
InfluenzaVaccine Efficacy • young >80% effective • elderly >70% effective, 80% effective in preventing death
Effectiveness of Influenza Vaccine in Community-Dwelling Elderly over 18 Seasons Nichol, NEJM 2007
Influenza VaccineAdverse Effects • local arm pain, erythema (30%) • fever, malaise, myalgias (5-10%) • Guillain-Barré Syndrome - 1976
Influenza Vaccination in Healthy Adults Nichol, NEJM 1995
Contraindication toInfluenza Vaccine • hypersensitivity to eggs • delay vaccine if acute febrile illness
Live, AttenuatedInfluenza Vaccine • FluMist™ (MedImmune Inc.) • live, attenuated virus (trivalent);temperature-sensitive (limited replication at 38°C) • intra-nasal spray
Universal Influenza VaccinationOntario, 2000-2008 As compared to other provinces, Ontario experienced • greater decrease in influenza-related mortality (RR 0.26 vs. 0.43) • greater decrease in influenza-related hospitalizations (RR 0.25 vs. 0.44) Kwong, PLoS Med 2008
