“…Rates of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09-associated all-respiratory hospitalizations in 2009 in South Africa were estimated to be approximately double those observed during non-pandemic years and disproportionately affected young individuals (especially the 5–19 year age-group), with the elderly being the least affected. Studies on the 2009 influenza pandemic previously conducted in the United States [ 27 ],[ 28 ], Canada [ 29 ], Argentina [ 30 ] and Italy [ 31 ] observed similar patterns.…”

BackgroundInfluenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection are common causes of lower respiratory tract illness. Data on their burden in low and middle-income settings and from Africa are scarce. We aimed to estimate age-specific rates of hospitalization attributable to influenza and RSV among patients attending private hospitals in South Africa during 2007–2012.MethodsWe estimated annual age-specific rates of influenza- and RSV-associated hospitalization (that is respiratory hospitalizations likely due to influenza or RSV infection) by applying regression models to monthly administrative hospitalization data from a national private hospital group, using influenza and RSV surveillance data as covariates.ResultsEstimated mean hospitalization rates associated with seasonal influenza were 75 (95% confidence interval (CI), 41–108) and 3 (95% CI, 2–5) per 100,000 person-years for all-respiratory and all-circulatory causes, respectively. Children <1 year and adults ≥75 years were the most affected, with influenza-associated all-respiratory hospitalization rates estimated at 255 (95% CI, 143–358) and 380 (95% CI, 227–506) per 100,000 person-years, respectively. Excess all-circulatory hospitalizations associated with seasonal influenza were only observed in adults ≥65 years. Annual hospitalization rates associated with RSV averaged an estimate of 223 (95% CI, 128–317) per 100,000 person-years for all-respiratory causes. Among children <1 year, RSV-associated all-respiratory hospitalization rate of 7,601 (95% CI, 4,312-10,817) per 100,000 person-years was estimated.ConclusionsInfluenza and RSV substantially contributed to hospitalizations over the study period.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12879-014-0694-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Influenza is a serious respiratory illness that can be debilitating and cause complications leading to hospitalization and death. Hence many patients need ICU management and close diagnostic monitoring in swine flu isolation ward. However fewer studies have been published describing clinical and radiological correlation in confirmed patients with H1N1 influenza admitted. Therefore we have conducted study that describes the clinical and radiographic findings in confirmed H1N1 influenza patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), along with their outcome.To evaluate risk factors, clinical and radiological profile of the confirmed cases of Influenza infection.: In the retrospective observational study 48 patients of influenza, who were diagnosed and treated, will be identified from hospital records at a tertiary care Hospital. All relevant clinical, investigational and treatment data collected from the hospital records. In our study, the maximum percentage of patients was in the age range of 41-60 years with male to female ratio of 1.52:1. All study patients had with fever (100%) while Cough, sputum production, wheezing, and breathlessness were other presenting symptoms. Crepitation was observed as a major sign. Other signs were pedal edema, anemia, cyanosis etc. Comorbid conditions were most commonly diabetes followed by hypertension, CAD and TB. Evaluation of Radiological investigations showed predominantly localization of bilaterally lobes. Consolidation, reticulonodular and nodular patterns were seen on X-ray. Due to illness, mortality was seen in 6(12.5%) patient out of 48patients.In the aftermath of the pandemic, untreated H1N1 influenza an infection that, in a matter of minutes or hours, can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome Meticulous diagnosis based upon clinical signs and symptoms and biochemical and radiological examination with early treatment may further decrease the mortality rate.
