ABSTRACT
We provide an update to the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada foundation guidance for the upcoming 2020-2021 influenza season in Canada. Important issues for this year include the implications of co-circulation of SARS-CoV-2, the role of diagnostic testing, and a restatement of dosing and administration recommendations for neuraminidase inhibitors in various age groups and underlying health conditions. Although peramivir and baloxivir are now licensed in Canada, neither is currently marketed, so this guidance focuses on further optimizing the use of oseltamivir and zanamivir.
Nous actualisons l'information sur les directives de la Fondation de l'Association pour la microbiologie médicale et l'infectiologie Canada en vue de la saison grippale 2020­2021 au Canada. Cette année, les enjeux importants touchent les conséquences de la co-circulation de la maladie à coronavirus 2019, le rôle des tests diagnostiques et la réaffirmation des recommandations relatives aux maladies sous-jacentes ainsi qu'à la posologie et à l'administration des inhibiteurs de la neuraminidase dans divers groupes d'âge. Même si le péramivir et le baloxivir sont désormais homologués au Canada, ces médicaments n'y sont pas encore commercialisés, et c'est pourquoi les présentes directives visent à optimiser l'utilisation de l'oseltamivir et du zanamivir.
