INFLUENZA VIRUS INFLUENZA VIRUS CDC WEBSITE http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/flu/fluinfo.htm 1 •Swine Influenza A (H1N1) Infection in Two Children --- Southern California, March-April 2009 •On April 17, 2009, CDC determined that two cases of febrile respiratory illness occurring in children who resided in adjacent counties in southern California were caused by infection with a swine influenza A (H1N1) virus. The viruses from the two cases are closely related genetically, resistant to amantadine and rimantadine, and contain a unique combination of gene segments that previously has not been reported among swine or human influenza viruses in the United States or elsewhere. Neither child had contact with pigs; the source of the infection is unknown. Investigations to identify the source of infection and to determine whether additional persons have been ill from infection with similar swine influenza viruses are ongoing. Although this is not a new subtype of influenza A in humans, concern exists that this new strain of swine influenza A (H1N1) is substantially different from human influenza A (H1N1) viruses, that a large proportion of the population might be susceptible to infection, and that the seasonal influenza vaccine H1N1 strain might not provide protection. The lack of known exposure to pigs in the two cases increases the possibility that human-to-human transmission of this new influenza virus has occurred. Clinicians should consider animal as well as seasonal influenza virus infections in their differential diagnosis of patients who have febrile respiratory illness and who 1) live in San Diego and Imperial counties or 2) traveled to these counties or were in contact with ill persons from these counties in the 7 days preceding their illness onset, or 3) had recent exposure to pigs. •http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm58d0421a1.htm 2 ‘FLU’ • True influenza – influenza virus A or influenza virus B – (or influenza virus C infections - much milder) • Febrile respiratory disease with systemic symptoms caused by a variety of other organisms often inaccurately called ‘flu’ 3 South Carolina 1996-1997 DHEC bulletin malathia influenzae per le stelle no virus CULTURE RESULTS influenza A influenza B 4 http://www.state.sc.us/dhec/LAB/labbu017.htm SEASONAL INFLUENZA THE IMPACT OF INFLUENZA PANDEMICS Deaths: 1918-19 Spanish flu >675,000 US >50,000,000 world 1957-58 Asian flu 70,000 US 5 THE IMPACT OF INFLUENZA • In the US, 1990-1999, on average: • 36,000 deaths per year • 226,000 hospitalizations per year http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/acip/clinical.htm 6 ORTHOMYXOVIRUSES • pleomorphic • influenza types A,B,C • febrile, respiratory illness with systemic symptoms http://www.uct.ac.za/depts/mmi/stannard/fluvirus.html 7 ORTHOMYXOVIRUSES HA - hemagglutinin NA - neuraminidase helical nucleocapsid (RNA plus NP protein) lipid bilayer membrane polymerase complex M1 protein type A, B, C : NP, M1 protein sub-types: HA or NA protein 8 TRANSMISSION • AEROSOL – 100,000 TO 1,000,000 VIRIONS PER DROPLET • SURFACES - VIRUS CAN SURVIVE APPROX 2 TO 8 HRS • 18-72 HR INCUBATION • SHEDDING 9 RECOVERY • INTERFERON - SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE: – FEVER, MYALGIA, FATIGUE, MALAISE • CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSE • TISSUE REPAIR – CAN TAKE SOME TIME 10 An immunological diversion INTERFERON 11 INTERFERON time course of virus production will vary from virus to virus 12 INTERFERON 13 INTERFERON antiviral state antiviral state antiviral state antiviral state 14 INTERFERON antiviral state antiviral state antiviral state antiviral state 15 INTERFERON antiviral state antiviral state antiviral state antiviral state 16 TYPES OF INTERFERON • TYPE I •Interferon-alpha (leukocyte interferon, about 20 related proteins) - leukocytes, etc •Interferon-beta (fibroblast interferon) - fibroblasts, epithelial cells, etc •TYPE II •Interferon-gamma (immune interferon) - certain activated T-cells, NK cells 17 INDUCTION OF INTERFERON •interferon-alpha and interferon-beta -induced by -viral infection (especially RNA viruses) -double stranded RNA -certain bacterial components - strong anti-viral properties •interferon-gamma - antigens, mitogenic stimulation of lymphocytes 18 INTERFERON • induces variety of proteins in target cells • many consequences, not all fully understood 19 INTERFERON-ALPHA AND INTERFERON-BETA 20 interferon-alpha, interferon-beta interferon receptor induction of 2’5’oligo A synthase induction of ribonuclease L induction of protein kinase R (PKR) 2’5’oligo A activated 2’5’oligo A synthase activated ribonuclease L activated protein kinase R ATP ATP phosphorylated initiation factor (eIF-2) 2’5’oligo A mRNA degraded inhibition of protein synthesis 21 interferon-alpha, interferon-beta interferon receptor induction of 2’5’oligo A synthase ds RNA induction of ribonuclease L 2’5’oligo A activated 2’5’oligo A synthase activated ribonuclease L induction of protein kinase R (PKR) ds RNA activated protein kinase R ATP ATP phosphorylated initiation factor (eIF-2) 2’5’oligo A mRNA degraded inhibition of protein synthesis 22 interferons • only made when needed 23 OTHER EFFECTS OF INTERFERONS • ALL TYPES – INCREASE MHC I EXPRESSION • CYTOTOXIC T-CELLS – ACTIVATE NK CELLS • CAN KILL VIRALLY INFECTED CELLS 24 OTHER EFFECTS OF INTERFERONS • INTERFERON-GAMMA – INCREASES MHC II EXPRESSION ON APC • HELPER T-CELLS – INCREASES ANTIVIRAL POTENTIAL OF MACROPHAGES • INTRINSIC • EXTRINSIC 25 THERAPEUTIC USES OF INTERFERONS • ANTI-VIRAL – e.g. interferon-alpha is currently approved for certain cases of acute and chronic HCV and chronic HBV • MACROPHAGE ACTIVATION – interferon-gamma has been tried for e.g. lepromatous leprosy, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis • ANTI-TUMOR – have been used in e.g. melanoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, CML • MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS – interferon-beta 26 Viral response to host immune system Viruses may : block interferon binding inhibit function of interferon-induced proteins interfere with MHC I or MHC II expression inhibit NK function block complement activation inhibit apoptosis etc!

The person was infected with a swine influenza A (H1N1) virus, and an investigation is currently underway to determine the source of illness. Although human infection with swine influenza is uncommon, sporadic cases have occurred in many years, usually among people in direct contact with ill pigs or who have been in places where pigs may have been present (e.g. agricultural fairs or farms). The sporadic cases of human infections with swine influenza viruses identified in recent years have not resulted in sustained human-to-human transmission or community outbreaks. Nonetheless, when cases are identified, CDC recommends thorough investigations to evaluate the extent of the outbreak and possible human to human transmission, as transmission patterns may change with changes in swine influenza viruses. •(This was a regular swine flu virus, not the pandemic strain) 68 Public health response – 2009 • April 15, 2009 – The first novel H1N1 patient in the US was confirmed by laboratory testing at CDC. • April 17, 2009 – The second patient was confirmed. – It was quickly determined that the virus was spreading from personto-person. • April 22, 2009 – CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to better coordinate the public health response • April 26, 2009 – The US Government declared a public health emergency and actively implemented the nation’s pandemic response plan •http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/background.htm 69 06-19-2009 • • • The first novel H1N1 patient in the United States was confirmed by laboratory testing at CDC on April 15, 2009. The second patient was confirmed on April 17, 2009. It was quickly determined that the virus was spreading from person-toperson. On April 22, CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center to better coordinate the public health response. On April 26, 2009, the United States Government declared a public health emergency and has been actively and aggressively implementing the nation’s pandemic response plan. Since the outbreak was first detected, an increasing number of U.S. states have reported cases of novel H1N1 influenza with associated hospitalizations and deaths. By June 3, 2009, all 50 states in the United States and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico were reporting cases of novel H1N1 infection. June 19th 2009. While nationwide U.S. influenza surveillance systems indicate that overall influenza activity is decreasing in the country at this time, novel H1N1 outbreaks are ongoing in parts of the U.S., in some cases with intense activity. CDC is continuing to watch the situation carefully, to support the public health response and to gather information about this virus and its characteristics. The Southern Hemisphere is just beginning its influenza season and the experience there may provide valuable clues about what may occur in the Northern Hemisphere this fall and winter. 70 http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/update.htm - downloaded 6/22/09 71 SEASONAL INFLUENZA Influenza - USA •Estimated rates of influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths varied substantially by age group in studies conducted during different influenza epidemics. •During 1990--1999, estimated average rates of influenza-associated pulmonary and circulatory deaths per 100,000 persons were: •0.4--0.6 among persons aged 0--49 years •7.5 among persons aged 50--64 years •98.3 among persons aged 65 years and older. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/acip/clinical.htm#signs 72 Novel H1N1 U.S. Hospitalization Rate per 100,000 Population, By Age Group (07-31-09) http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/surveillanceqa.htm 73 Danger signs in all patients •Worldwide, the majority of patients infected with the pandemic virus continue to experience mild symptoms and recover fully within a week, even in the absence of any medical treatment. 2009 PANDEMIC INFLUENZA •In addition to the enhanced risk documented in pregnant women, groups at increased risk of severe or fatal illness include people with underlying medical conditions, most notably chronic lung disease (including asthma), cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and immunosuppression. Some preliminary studies suggest that obesity, and especially extreme obesity, may be a risk factor for more severe disease. •Within this largely reassuring picture, a small number of otherwise healthy people, usually under the age of 50 years, experience very rapid progression to severe and often fatal illness, characterized by severe pneumonia that destroys the lung tissue, and the failure of multiple organs. No factors that can predict this pattern of severe disease have yet been identified, though studies are under way. • As progression can be very rapid, medical attention should be sought when any of the following danger signs appear in a person with confirmed or suspected H1N1 infection: •shortness of breath, either during physical activity or while resting •difficulty in breathing •turning blue •bloody or colored sputum •chest pain •altered mental status •high fever that persists beyond 3 days •low blood pressure •In children, danger signs include fast or difficult breathing, lack of alertness, difficulty in waking up, and little or no desire to play. 74 •http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/notes/h1n1_pregnancy_20090731/en/index.html , downloaded 7-31-09
