 [Effectmeasure.blogspot.com] Effect Measure: December 2005: (NEJM) paper from Vietnam detailing oseltamivir (Tamiflu) resistant H5N1 has just appeared and it is more ominous than the first, which described partial resistance in a patient that eventually recovered (see other posts here, here and here). The case reports today describe two more patients with fatal outcomes carrying a virus that was resistant to H5N1, as evidenced by continued viral load in the presence of recommended and timely treatment regimens and a mutation (H274Y) previously described as being related to Tamiflu resistance (in volunteers experimentally infected with H1N1;

 [Clt.blogspot.com] you & i are immortal - we've been saved so often, it is our duty ...: Although many oseltamivir-resistant (non-H5N1) viruses that have been studied in animals have compromised biologic fitness, some resistant variants have been transmitted among ferrets, arousing concern about transmissibility among humans.5 In fact, according to recent data collected in Japan by the Neuraminidase Inhibitor Susceptibility Network, 3 of 1200 isolates from ill patients without known exposure to neuraminidase inhibitors contained resistance mutations, suggesting that these resistant viruses are transmitted at least at a low level in humans and are not severely biologically compromised.
