“…Flu mortality in the same population of patients was determined to be somewhat lower by some reports [3]; however, it is well known that the severity of flu depends on the serotype of influenza involved and on the comorbidities of the patients. Furthermore, in patients with severe H1N1 flu that require IMV, mortality can be high and in some studies it was reported to range from 50% up to a staggering 77% [4,5]. Our tertiary care center is a respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (rECMO) referral center for Croatia and we tend to admit patients who are considered for rECMO treatment due to acute respiratory failure (ARF), mostly ARDS.…”

Background Since the beginning of the Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic the new Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronoavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has been repeatedly compared to the influenza virus; however, the comparison of invasively mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by these viruses is very scarce. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical course and laboratory parameters between the most severely ill flu and COVID 19 patients treated with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Methods The study was conducted at the intensive care unit (ICU) of the tertiary care hospital in Zagreb, Croatia in the period between November 2018 and July 2020. Investigation included 72 adult patients requir

“…Tanna et al reported 58.55% patients to be positive for H1N1 which is almost similar to our study. 7 Choudhry et al found 23.5% patients and Prakash G reported 35.87% patients positive for H1N1 their studies. 1,8 Adults were affected more and positive cases were reported more in female than in male in present study.…”

“…The same findings have been reported from other parts of India. 7,8 Age-wise analysis of positive cases per total number of samples screened revealed that, maximum positivity for H1N1 viruses belonged to the age group of <50 years 74 (84.09%) ranging from 5 years to 75 years. The mean age was 35.00±13.36 years.…”

Background: Influenza is known to cause annual seasonal epidemics in Asian subcontinent. Our study assessed the clinical profile, factors influencing the response, prognosis and outcome in H1N1 positive patients during FebruaryMarch 2015. We aimed to understand the epidemiology and patterns of the disease so that the high risks groups could be identified. Methods: Medical records of the patients who were admitted during Feb-March 2015, as a suspected case to the swine flu ward of J A Hospital and G R Medical College, Gwalior, India were manually retrieved and retrospectively studied. H1N1 positive patients, who were diagnosed clinically and confirmed by RT-PCR method, were included for analysis. Results: Out of 208 patients were admitted for suspicion of swine flu influenza and underwent testing out of which 88 (42.30%) were found to be positive for H1N1. Most common (37.40%) affected age group was 20-30 years. Females were more involved (62.5%), out of which 20% were antenatal. The common presenting symptoms were cough, fever, breathlessness. Overall case fatality ratio was 4.45%. Conclusions:Patients with influenza like illness should not panic as many of them become negative for H1N1. In our area prevalence of H1N1 was high in young and females. Most of the patients recovered with symptomatic treatment and oseltamivir therapy. Proper prevention steps, personal hygiene and admission to designated swine flu ward can be helpful in preventing the spread in the community.
