A novel influenza A partly of virus of swine origin (2009 H1N1) emerged this spring, resulting in an influenza pandemic. This pandemic is anticipated to continue into the next influenza season. Given that the 2009 H1N1 and seasonal influenza A appear to be somewhat different in the human populations affected and that two influenza vaccines will be recommended this fall, those who manage long-term care facilities and treat patients in them will be faced with many uncertainties as they approach the 2009/10 influenza season. Ten specific suggestions are offered to those responsible for the care of patients in long-term care facilities regarding the upcoming influenza season. These practical suggestions are the clinical opinions of the authors and do not represent official recommendations of the American Geriatrics Society or any agency.
今年春季出现了一种新型甲型流感病毒(2009H1N1),导致了流感大流行。预计这种大流行将持续到下一个流感季节。鉴于 2009H1N1 和季节性甲型流感在受影响人群中的表现似乎有所不同,并且今年秋季将推荐两种流感疫苗,因此,管理长期护理设施和治疗其中患者的人员将在即将到来的 2009/10 流感季节面临许多不确定性。针对长期护理设施中患者的护理人员,提出了十个具体建议,涉及即将到来的流感季节。这些实用建议是作者的临床意见,并不代表美国老年医学学会或任何机构的官方建议。
