Influenza Virus

Influenza Highly infectious viral illness Virus was first isolated in 1933 Single-stranded RNA virus Orthomyxoviridae family 3 types A B C Subtypes of type A determined by

hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N)

Swine Influenza Type A Subtype H1N1

Type A - moderate to severe illness- all age groups potential for

epidemic- humans and other animal

Type B - milder disease- primarily affects children- humans only

Type C - rarely reported in humans- no

epidemics

Influenza Virus Surface Proteins

neuraminidase

haemagglutinin

Antigenic Drift

Gradual change in the virus with mutations and substitutions in the amino acid chain of the surface proteins(neuraminidase and haemagglutinin)

A new strain can trigger a new epidemicusually prevail for 2-5 years before next antigenic drift

Antigenic Shift

A type A influenza virus with a completely novel haemagglutinin or neuraminidase formation moves into the human species from other host species

The primary source is birds with recombination in swine or humans

Pandemic influenza

The fact is that flu is one of the most formidable infections confronting humankind The virus mutates constantly as it circulates among birds pigs and humans So each new flu season brings new challenges

First pandemic known in 15th century In pandemic response and planning prediction of the

future is not possible Thought is to hope for best but plan for worst

Recent Pandemics

1889-1890 ndash first recorded pandemic 1918 ldquoSpanishrdquo flu- 20-40 million deaths 1957 ldquoAsianrdquo flu- 1 million deaths 1968 ldquoHong Kongrdquo flu- 1 million deaths 1976 ldquoSwinerdquo flu ndash unreported deaths

Influenza Pathogenesis

Respiratory transmission of virus Replication in respiratory

epithelium with subsequent destruction of cells

Viremia rarely documented Viral shedding in respiratory

secretions for 5-10 days

Symptoms of influenza include

ndash Feverndash Coughndash Headachendash Myalgiandash Fatigue and weaknessndash Chest discomfortndash Nausea diarrhea with swine flu

Risk factors for complications

Age gt 65 yearsResidence of nursing homes and other

chronic care facilitiesChronic cardiac or pulmonary

disordersChronic conditions such as diabetesLong term ASA therapy Immunosuppression

Diagnosis

Symptoms of cough and fever has a 30ndash 40 predictive power Symptoms with surveillance (flu in

community) has a 70 - 80 predictive power

Pandemic Influenza Phase Characterization of Phase Public Health Goals

Phase 3Human infection(s) with a new subtype but no human-to-human spread or at most rare instances of spread to a close contact

Ensure rapid characterization of the new virus subtype and early detection notification and response to additional cases

Phase 4

Small cluster(s) with limited human-to-human transmission but spread is highly localized suggesting that the virus is not well adapted to human

Contain the new virus within limited foci or delay spread to gain time to implement preparedness measures including vaccine development

Phase 5

Larger cluster(s) but human-to-human spread still localized suggesting that the virus is becoming increasingly better adapted to humans but may not yet be fully transmissible (substantial pandemic risk)

Maximize efforts to contain or delay spread to possibly avert a pandemic and to gain time to implement pandemic response measures

Phase 6Pandemic increased and sustained transmission in general population

Minimize the impact of the pandemic

How does novel H1N1 Influenzaspread

This virus is thought to spread the same way seasonal flu spreads bull Primarily through respiratory droplets bull Coughing bull Sneezing bull Touching respiratory droplets on yourself another person or an object then touching mucus membranes (eg mouth nose eyes) without washing hands

Persons at High Risk

Persons at increased risk of severe illness from influenza include people older than 65 years children younger than five years

pregnant women and people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions like diabetes asthma immune-suppression or

chronic lung disease See Interim Recommendations for Facemask and Respirator Use to Reduce Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus

Pandemic influenza

The fact is that flu is one of the most formidable infections confronting humankind The virus mutates constantly as it circulates among birds pigs and humans So each new flu season brings new challenges

First pandemic known in 15th century In pandemic response and planning prediction of the

future is not possible Thought is to hope for best but plan for worst

Recent Pandemics

1889-1890 ndash first recorded pandemic 1918 ldquoSpanishrdquo flu- 20-40 million deaths 1957 ldquoAsianrdquo flu- 1 million deaths 1968 ldquoHong Kongrdquo flu- 1 million deaths 1976 ldquoSwinerdquo flu ndash unreported deaths

Influenza Pathogenesis

Respiratory transmission of virus Replication in respiratory

epithelium with subsequent destruction of cells

Viremia rarely documented Viral shedding in respiratory

secretions for 5-10 days

Symptoms of influenza include

ndash Feverndash Coughndash Headachendash Myalgiandash Fatigue and weaknessndash Chest discomfortndash Nausea diarrhea with swine flu

Risk factors for complications

Age gt 65 yearsResidence of nursing homes and other

chronic care facilitiesChronic cardiac or pulmonary

disordersChronic conditions such as diabetesLong term ASA therapy Immunosuppression

Diagnosis

Symptoms of cough and fever has a 30ndash 40 predictive power Symptoms with surveillance (flu in

community) has a 70 - 80 predictive power

Current Pandemic Influenza Phase (as of June 15 2009) Phase 6

World Health Organization Pandemic Influenza Phases (2009)

Pandemic Influenza Phase Characterization of Phase Public Health Goals

Phase 3Human infection(s) with a new subtype but no human-to-human spread or at most rare instances of spread to a close contact

Ensure rapid characterization of the new virus subtype and early detection notification and response to additional cases

Phase 4

Small cluster(s) with limited human-to-human transmission but spread is highly localized suggesting that the virus is not well adapted to human

Contain the new virus within limited foci or delay spread to gain time to implement preparedness measures including vaccine development

Phase 5

Larger cluster(s) but human-to-human spread still localized suggesting that the virus is becoming increasingly better adapted to humans but may not yet be fully transmissible (substantial pandemic risk)

Maximize efforts to contain or delay spread to possibly avert a pandemic and to gain time to implement pandemic response measures

Phase 6Pandemic increased and sustained transmission in general population

Minimize the impact of the pandemic

How does novel H1N1 Influenzaspread

This virus is thought to spread the same way seasonal flu spreads bull Primarily through respiratory droplets bull Coughing bull Sneezing bull Touching respiratory droplets on yourself another person or an object then touching mucus membranes (eg mouth nose eyes) without washing hands

Persons at High Risk

Persons at increased risk of severe illness from influenza include people older than 65 years children younger than five years

pregnant women and people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions like diabetes asthma immune-suppression or

chronic lung disease See Interim Recommendations for Facemask and Respirator Use to Reduce Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus
