Methods: This multicenter retrospective review of the 2002 to 2012 Pediatric Health Information System database included hospitalized infants aged ≤28 days (neonates) admitted to an inpatient ward with a diagnosis code for fever or neonatal fever.
Prolonged treatment of an immunocompromised child with oseltamivir and zanamivir for A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection led to the emergence of viruses carrying H275Y and/or E119G in the neuraminidase (NA). When phenotypically evaluated by NA inhibition, the dual H275Y-E119G substitution caused highly reduced inhibition by 4 NA inhibitors: oseltamivir, zanamivir, peramivir, and laninamivir.
