The spectrum of manifestations and management of the novel influenza A/H1N1 virus in transplanted patients is currently of major concern. Asymptomatic infections are less common yet important for spreading of the virus and thus affect containment measures. To our knowledge, there are no reports of asymptomatic infections with influenza A/H1N1 in immunosuppressed patients. We present the first case of a young heart transplant recipient who remained asymptomatic despite positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after exposure to individuals with influenza A/H1N1.
目前，新型甲型 H1N1 流感病毒在移植患者中的表现和治疗方法备受关注。无症状感染虽不常见，但对于病毒的传播却很重要，因此会影响到遏制措施。据我们所知，尚无关于免疫抑制患者感染甲型 H1N1 流感后无症状感染的报告。我们报告首例年轻心脏移植受者的病例，该患者在接触甲型 H1N1 流感患者后，尽管聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测呈阳性，但仍无症状。
