ABSTRACT

This study assessed the presence of influenza virus among young children and the coverage of vaccination from 2010 to 2012 in São Paulo, Brazil. Our results demonstrated a lower rate of influenza detection and a predominance of influenza B. A decrease of coverage vaccination through the surveillance periods was observed.

ABSTRACT

O vírus influenza de origem suína, A/California/04/2009 (H1N1), foi inicialmente detectado no México e determinou a pandemia de influenza de 2009. Em agosto de 2010, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou o início da fase pós-pandêmica. As características dessa última pandemia foram marcadamente diferentes das anteriores. O vírus emergiu de rearranjos genéticos originários em hospedeiro mamífero não humano, demonstrou transmissibilidade interespécies e afetou a população humana de forma diferente dos vírus pandêmicos anteriores (1918, 1957 e 1968) com maior morbidade e mortalidade em crianças e adultos jovens. Atualmente, o vírus apresenta padrão sazonal da mesma forma que o influenza A H3N2 e o influenza B, mantendo, até o momento, o mesmo perfil de patogenicidade, espectro clínico e sensibilidade a antivirais. A cepa foi incluída na vacina sazonal trivalente anual recomendada, principalmente para proteção dos grupos de risco mais vulneráveis a complicações pelas diferentes cepas de influenza.


The swine origin influenza virus A/CALIFORNIA/04/2009 (H1N1) was first detected in Mexico and determined the 2009 influenza pandemic. In August 2010, World Health Organization (WHO) declared the beginning of the post-pandemic period. This last pandemic was distinctly different from previous ones. The virus emerged from genetic rearrangement in non-human mammalian host. Moreover, its inter-species transmission is fully reported. However, it affected human population differently from previous pandemic viruses (1918, 1957, 1968), with increased morbidity and mortality among children and young adults. Currently, the virus has a seasonal pattern in the same way as influenza A H3N2 and influenza B, maintaining the same pathogenicity profile, clinical spectrum and sensitivity to antiviral agents. The strain was included in the annual trivalent seasonal vaccine formulation, mainly for risk groups, which are more vulnerable to complications caused by different influenza strains.

ABSTRACT

Em 2010, 96 pacientes com suspeita de infecção por influenza A (H1N1) foram hospitalizados no Hospital São Paulo, na cidade de São Paulo (SP). Desses, 4 pacientes (4,2 por cento) foram diagnosticados com influenza A - 3 com influenza A (H1N1) e 1 com influenza sazonal - e 2 pacientes (2,1 por cento) foram diagnosticados com influenza B. A maioria dos casos suspeitos (63,5 por cento) e metade dos casos positivos ocorreram em crianças. A segunda onda de influenza A (H1N1) foi mais fraca em São Paulo. A vacinação pode ter contribuído para a redução das internações devido a essa infecção em 2010.


In 2010, 96 patients suspected of being infected with the influenza A (H1N1) virus were hospitalized at the Hospital São Paulo, located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Of those 96 patients, 4 (4.2 percent) were found to be infected with influenza A virus-3 with influenza A (H1N1) and 1 with seasonal influenza A-and 2 patients (2.1 percent) were found to be infected with influenza B virus. Most (63.5 percent) of the suspected cases occurred in children, as did half of the positive cases. The second wave of influenza A (H1N1) infection was weaker in São Paulo. The decrease in the number of hospitalizations for H1N1 infection in 2010 might be attributable to vaccination.
