ABSTRACT
We provide an update to the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada seasonal influenza foundation guideline on the use of antiviral drugs for influenza for the upcoming 2021-2022 influenza season in Canada. Peramivir and baloxavir marboxil were licensed in Canada in 2017 and 2020, respectively, but neither is currently marketed. Thus, this guidance continues to focus on further optimizing the use of oseltamivir and zanamivir. Important issues for this year include the implications of co-circulation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and influenza viruses; the role of diagnostic testing in relation to impact on patient management; and dosing and administration recommendations for neuraminidase inhibitors for various at-risk age groups.
Une mise à jour des lignes directrices de base d'AMMI Canada sur l'utilisation de médicaments antiviraux contre l'influenza au cours de la saison grippale 2021-2022 au Canada est présentée. Le péramivir et le baloxavir marboxil ont été homologués au Canada en 2017 et en 2020, respectivement, mais ni l'un ni l'autre n'est encore commercialisé. Les lignes directrices continuent donc d'être axées sur l'optimisation de l'oseltamivir et du zanamivir. Les enjeux importants cette année incluent les effets de la cocirculation du coronavirus 2 du syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère et des virus de l'influenza, le rôle des tests diagnostiques sur la prise en charge des patients, de même que les recommandations en matière de posologie et d'administration des inhibiteurs de la neuraminidase dans divers groupes d'âge à risque.
