| update: influenza activity--united states, 1991-92 season. | from october 23, 1991, through january 18, 1992, 46 state health departments reported regional or widespread influenza activity for 1 or more weeks. for the week ending january 4, 34 states reported regional or widespread activity, the most during any single week this season. from late october through mid-december, influenza outbreaks reported from 11 states involved primarily school children. reports of outbreaks among adults began in mid-november and continued through january and involved pers ... | 1992 | 1731184 |

| efficacy of zanamivir for chemoprophylaxis of nursing home influenza outbreaks. | despite vaccination, influenza remains a common of morbidity in nursing homes. chemoprophylaxis of residents with currently available antivirals is not always effective and new agents effective against both influenza a and b are needed. in a randomized, unblinded pilot study, we compared 14 day chemoprophylaxis with zanamivir, an antiviral which inhibits influenza neuraminidase, to standard of care during sequential influenza a and influenza b outbreaks in a 735 bed nursing home. influenza a out ... | 1998 | 9778755 |

| risk of acquiring influenza a in a nursing home from a culture-positive roommate. | influenza a was cultured in 62 double rooms. the roommate was infected in 12 (19.4%). during 3,294 resident-seasons, influenza was cultured in 208 single rooms (6.3%). those who lived in double rooms with a culture-positive roommate had a 3.07 relative risk (ci95, 1.61-5.78) of acquiring influenza. | 2003 | 14649779 |

| effect of annual influenza immunization on antibody response in lung transplant patients. | influenza viral infections cause significant morbidity and mortality each season. lung transplant patients may be at higher risk because of their underlying pathophysiology. although annual immunization is the standard of care, its efficacy remains largely unproven. previous studies showed poor antibody response to influenza vaccine in lung transplant patients, but no data on the antibody response in consecutive seasons have been published. | 2009 | 19588665 |

| h1n1 hemagglutinin-inhibition seroprevalence in emergency department health care workers after the first wave of the 2009 influenza pandemic. | the 2009 h1n1 pandemic (h1n1pdm) virus has been associated with high rates of asymptomatic infections. existing influenza infection control policies do not address potential transmission through exposure to asymptomatic infected individuals in health care settings. we conducted a seroprevalence study of h1n1pdm infection to determine whether health care workers (hcws) in the emergency department showed increased evidence of infection during the first wave of the pandemic than that previously rep ... | 2011 | 21878831 |
