Abstract

Substantiation. There is a risk of global spread of the A (H1N1) influenza with the probability of high lethality.

Aim. Analysis of the clinical data of patients who died from influenza including А(H1N1)pdm and its complications in 2009/2010 years and in post-pandemic period in the comparative aspect.

Results. Among 32 died patients of the main group were 16 men and 16 women. The group of comparison included 24 patients: 17men and 7 women. At virological examination of all patients RNA of virus of the А(Н1Н1)pdm influenza in nasopharyngeal samples was detected in lifetime by the PCR method in 29 cases (51,7 %), in pulmonary tissue after autopsy – in 25 cases (44,6 %) in nasopharyngeal samples and pulmonary tissue in the same patients in– 12 (21,4 %). Among the main risk factors in patients of the main group the most often observed were obesity – 18 (56,2 %), diabetes in 9 (28,1 % ) patients, pregnancy in 2 trimester – 1 (3,1 % ), pregnancy in 3 trimester – 2 (6,3 %). In the group of comparison obesity was observed in 10 (41,6 %) patients, diabetes mellitus in 1(4,2 %). Streptococcus pneumoniae and Candida albicans were most often isolated from the pulmonary tissue at autopsy by bacteriological method.

Conclusions. In the main group and in the group of comparison prevailed patients of the young and middle age 22 (68,7 %) and 14 (58,3 %) respectively. According to the results of pathomorphologic examination the ARDS was detected in 13 (23,2 %) of all patients included into examination. In the rest 43 died patients influenza was complicated with viral and viral-bacteriological pneumonias. The duration of disease to the lethal outcome development among patients of the main group was 9,67±0,65 days and 9±0,66 days in the group of comparison at absence of the statistically significant difference. In most patients at admission to hospital was decreased the SpO2 level (less than 90 %), and in 14 (25 %) SpO2 was less than 60. The increase of respiratory movements number more than 30 per 1 minute was observed in 39 (69,6 %)patients. No one patient from the control group was vaccinated against influenza
