Swine origin influenza virus (S-OIV) has been of global concern towards the end of 2009 with its high morbidity rate and pandemic aspect. In this study, the presence of pandemic influenza A/H1N1/2009 virus RNA was investigated in patients clinically diagnosed as influenza infection in the university hospital in Trabzon province (located at Eastern Black Sea Region, Turkey). Oropharyngeal and nasal swab samples were collected from 211 patients (mean age: 18.5 years) who were admitted to our hospital between 16 November 2009 and 10 January 2010. Pandemic influenza A/H1N1/2009 virus RNA in the samples was investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Viral RNA was detected in 41 of the patients (19.4%). The mean age of the cases was 11.7 years old. The highest positivity rate (44%) was seen in samples collected between 23-29 December 2009, while no positive samples were detected after 29 December 2009.
猪源流感病毒(S-OIV)在2009年末因其高发病率和大流行态势而受到全球关注。在本研究中,对特拉布宗省(位于土耳其黑海东部地区)大学医院临床诊断为流感感染的患者进行了甲型H1N1/2009大流行性流感病毒RNA检测。于2009年11月16日至2010年1月10日期间,从我院收治的211例患者(平均年龄:18.5岁)中采集了口咽和鼻拭子样本。通过实时聚合酶链反应检测样本中的甲型H1N1/2009大流行性流感病毒RNA。在41例患者(19.4%)中检测到病毒RNA。病例的平均年龄为11.7岁。在2009年12月23日至29日采集的样本中阳性率最高(44%),而在2009年12月29日之后未检测到阳性样本。
