A nosocomial outbreak of 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) in a paediatric oncology ward in Italy, October – November 2009
M Chironna , S Tafuri , N Santoro , R Prato , M Quarto and C A GerminarioA nosocomial outbreak of 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1), with eight confirmed cases, occurred in a paediatric oncology ward in Italy, in October/November 2009. The fact that one case was infected despite being isolated and without contact to a symptomatic patient, hints towards potential transmission through a health care worker (HCW) and underlines the importance of vaccination of HCW who are involved in the care of critically ill patients.

When should we intervene to control the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic?
We simulated the early phase of the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic and assessed the effectiveness of public health interventions in Japan. We show that the detection rate of border quarantine was low and the timing of the intervention was the most important factor involved in the control of the pandemic, with the maximum reduction in daily cases obtained after interventions started on day 6 or 11. Early interventions were not always effective.

Genesis of a KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae after in vivo transfer from an imported Greek strain
F Barbier , E Ruppé , P Giakkoupi , L Wildenberg , J C Lucet , A Vatopoulos , M Wolff and A AndremontWe document here the in vivo transfer of blaKPC-2 between intensive care unit-acquired and a commensal strain of K. pneumoniae in a French patient after his repatriation from Greece. This first report of in vivo transfer of a blaKPC-2 between two K. pneumoniae strains raises further concerns about the spread of carbapenem resistance among Enterobacteriaceae.

Outbreak of 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1), Los Lagos, Chile, April-June 2009
Collective Chilean Task Force for study of Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) , E Pedroni , M García , V Espínola , A Guerrero , C González , A Olea , M Calvo , B Martorell , M Winkler , M V Carrasco , J A Vergara , J Ulloa , A M Carrazana , O Mujica , J E Villarroel , M Labraña , M Vargas , P González , L Cáceres , C G Zamorano , R Momberg , G Muñoz , J Rocco , V Bosque , A Gallardo , J Elgueta and J VegaOn 17 May 2009, the first two cases of 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) were confirmed in the Metropolitan region (Santiago, Chile). On 6 June 2009, Chile reported 500 confirmed cases, seven severe and two fatal. Because six of the severe cases and the two deaths occurred in the region of Los Lagos in southern Chile, a retrospective study was conducted using data on emergency room visits as well as laboratory viral surveillance, during the period from 1 April to 31 May, in order to establish the date of the beginning of the outbreak. From 1 to 27 June, data were collected in real time, to establish the real magnitude of the outbreak, describe its transmission, clinical severity and secondary attack rates. Confirmed cases, their household contacts and healthcare workers were interviewed. This analysis showed that the outbreak in Los Lagos started on 28 April. By 27 June, a total of 14,559 clinical cases were identified, affecting mostly 5-19 year-olds. The effective reproduction number during the initial phase (20 days) was 1.8 (1.6-2.0). Of the 190 confirmed cases with severe acute respiratory infection, 71 (37.4%) presented a risk condition or underlying illness. .
