Comparison between virus Shedding and Fever Duration after Treating Children with Pandemic a H1N1/09 and Children with a H3N2 with a Neuraminidase Inhibitor

Abstract

The virus isolation rates after treatment with each of the NAIs were significantly lower in the A H1N1/09 group, suggesting that the pandemic A H1N1/09 virus was more sensitive to the NAIs than the seasonal A H3N2 virus was. Clinically, there were no significant differences in the effectiveness of the NAIs between the H1N1/09 infected group and H3N2 infected group.
