CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate the utility of monitoring influenza-infected immunocompromised patients in general hospitals for the early detection of emerging neuraminidase inhibitor-resistant viruses and maintaining continuous laboratory surveillance of patients with influenza-like illness in sentinel clinics to monitor the spread of such new variants. If a drug resistance mutation is found in the NA gene, the KINRESS attempts to isolate the virus and perform phenotypic analysis (NA inhibition assay). Here, drug-resistant A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses were detected via the KINRESS in patients with acute hematologic cancer not exhibiting recovery despite oseltamivir and peramivir administration; these were characterized genetically and antigenically following isolation. ./cache/cord-327013-gc6o8ou3.txt ./txt/cord-327013-gc6o8ou3.txt
