ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
1.To evaluates and recognizes findings in chest radiograph in patients with laboratory-confirmed S-OIV (H1N1) infection treated at UKMMC. 2. To evaluate whether the findings on initial chest radiographs of influenza A (H1N1) patients can help to predict the prognosis. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Total of 109 adult patients presenting to the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC) with flu-like symptoms who were positive for influenza A and these patients had underwent chest radiographs (CXR). The initial CXRs were evaluated for the pattern (consolidation, ground-glass, and reticulation), distribution, and extend of abnormality. The disease is classifies by the clinical severity (mild, moderate or severe illness) and adverse outcome (ventilated, death or recovered well).RESULTS:
The initial CXRs were normal in 56% of cases. The predominant radiographic finding was consolidation, most commonly involving the middle and lower zones (35% of cases). There is no significant association between initial CXR findings with the patient clinical outcome either fully recovered or death/ ventilated.CONCLUSION:
Normal chest radiographs is the most common radiographic finding in S-OIV (H1N1) infection and the most common abnormal lung finding is consolidation. Initial chest radiographs did not determine the patient clinical outcome and a normal initial radiograph could not exclude adverse outcome.
