Influenza pandemics 
 Antigenic shift has occurred at least 3 
times in the past, each time resulting in 
highly lethal pandemics. 
 All three pandemics in the 20th century 
spread world wide within 1 year of 
detection 
 1918 Spanish flu (H1N1) which caused 
the death of 20-40 million people 
 1957 Asian flu (H2N2) 
 1968 Hong Kong flu (H3N2). This 
subtype still circulates today.

Diagnosis 
 Avian influenza 
44
Avian influenza 
The highly pathogenic 
form of avian 
influenza A was first 
recognized in Italy in 
1878 
45
Highly pathogenic 
This strain 
46 
It is extremely 
contagious and 
rapidly fatal in 
birds with a mortality 
approaching 100%.
 All outbreaks of the highly pathogenic form of avian 
influenza have been caused by subtypes H5 and H7. 
47
 The virus multiplies in the intestines of these birds and is 
shed in saliva, nasal secretions and feces. 
48
 A single gram of contaminated feces 
contains enough virus to infect 1 
million birds 
 The virus can survive in 
contaminated manure for up to 3 
months and in contaminated water up 
to 30 days. 
 Birds that survive infection excrete 
virus for at least 10 days, orally and 
in feces, thus facilitating further 
spread. 
49
 H5N1 has jumped the species barrier on 2 
separate occasions in the recent past causing 
severe disease in humans. 
 The first documented human infection by H5N1 
occurred in Hong Kong, China in 1997. 
 18 people were hospitalized, 6 died. 
 The entire domestic bird population of Hong 
Kong, 1.5 million birds, was culled in 3 days. 
 Human infection stopped after all chickens were 
culled. 
 Limited human-to-human transmission of H5N1 
was documented. 
50
How do people die? 
 Unlike influenza viruses we are 
more familiar with in which 
respiratory symptoms dominate, 
H5N1 replicates in a wide range 
of cell types 
 This results in severe 
disseminated disease affecting 
multiple organs and causing 
high mortality. 
51
Presentation 
 Patients with documented H5N1 typically present to 
the hospital 2-6 days after the onset of fever and 
cough. 
 Other early symptoms include sore throat, runny 
nose and myalgia's. SOB develops in 1 to 5 days. 
 At admission all patients have clinically apparent 
pneumonia with either patchy or interstitial 
infiltrates. 
 Leukocyte count is normal or decreased, and 
transaminases may be mildly to moderately 
elevated. 
 Patients go on to develop disseminated disease 
affecting multiple organs 
 Secondary bacterial infection has not been a factor 
52
53
There are 2 classes of drugs available that are 
effective against the influenza virus: 
 The M2 inhibitors: amantidine and ramantidine 
 The neuraminidase inhibitors: oseltamivir and 
zaminivir 
In preliminary studies H1M5 has been shown to be 
resistant to the M2 inhibitors 
54
Another interesting bit of information 
 H5N1 infection has been confirmed in a 
single household of domestic cats in 
Thailand. 14 of 15 cats in the household 
died. 
 One dead cat was known to have 
contact with a dead chicken. 
 Up to now, domestic cats were not been 
considered susceptible to infection with 
influenza viruses although some older 
studies from the 1970s reported 
experimental infection of domestic cats 
under laboratory conditions.
