As with any medical product, unexpected or rare serious adverse events may occur. The FDA is working closely with governmental and nongovernmental organizations to enhance the capacity for adverse event monitoring, information sharing and analysis during and after the 2009 H1N1 vaccination program.

11062655 tn?1414987783 htm Hepatotoxicity Despite widespread use, there is little evidence that oseltamivir when given orally causes liver injury, either in the form of serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver disease. A proportion of patients with acute influenza A may have minor serum enzyme elevations during the acute illness, but these appear to be independent of therapy and are not exacerbated by osteltamivir.
Avatar f tn s potential damage to the liver. I have compensated cirrhosis (7 yrs) and am basically very healthy except for this flu. I've read that the drug elevates liver enzymes. Can't call gi doc as Friday night. Thanks for any comments!
Avatar m tn Sure, some people with HIV have low lymphocyte counts, especially in advance AIDS (but not generally with recently acquired infection). However, there are hundreds of causes of low lymphocyte counts; and normal variation means that most healthy people from time to time have levels below the usual normal numbers. Among people with lymphopenia (the medical term for low lymphocytes), I would guess that fewer than one in a million have HIV. Now I've looked at your question.
Avatar m tn com [Abstract] Objective To investigate the infection and prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the neonates whose fathers were positive with hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). Methods HBVDNA were detected in 56 neonates whose fathers were HBsAg positive and mothers were without HBVmarkers, 10 neonates whose parents were both negative for anyHBV markers were as controls.
372366 tn?1284403873 It's sold as an inhaler for the flu in Mexico. Also, if I remember correctly, it's approved for some pediatric uses in this country.
Avatar n tn I've had a horrible cough for a week now. Usually nothing comes up and my throat hurts like crazy. when i cough i do get a clear thick mucus, along with a little brownish color stuff. It sometimes makes it hard to breath, like it is blocking my airway. I get a headache so bad that it makes me dizzy. I have been drinking hot tea, and water like crazy. It never seems to wet my throat. at times it seems so dry and hard to swallow.
Avatar m tn a randomized controlled trial. J Viral Hepatitis 2013; 20(11): 801–10. [Impact Factor = 3.08] The authors randomised neonates immediately after delivery to receive either hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) or placebo in addition to HBV vaccination (at 0, 6, 10 and 14 weeks). 259 neonates were included in the trial with 222 completing 18 weeks of follow-up. Only 62 (28%) reached the primary endpoint of freedom from infection and the development of an adequate immune response to the vaccine.
608104 tn?1352587153 November 10 2012 Finally realized that,as a 70 year crone with "mild cognitive disordered" older brain,that dosing with prednisone for viral respiratory infection results in mood swings not well stabilized. I then join new clubs excited to meet wonderful people until the side effects wear off. I expected diagnosis of viral infections with treatment with anti-viral medications. I got my Fluzone influenza vaccine last month and.a TDAP booster. TDAP is not covered by Medicare.
Avatar n tn The flu is more contagious than the common cold and has a high mortality rate. Influenza is a viral infection caused by influenza viruses, and influenza patients are the main source of influenza infection. It is mainly transmitted by humans. The virus can directly infect people who come into contact with the air, and can indirectly infect others through contaminated things. The crowds gather, or the air is not circulating where the virus spreads the fastest.
1765695 tn?1313669583 Prevention The risk of the common cold and influenza was studied in postmenopausal African-American women living in New York. Women taking 2000 international units (IU) (50 mcg)/day of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) had a 90% reduction in either disorder. Those taking 800 IU (20 mcg)/day had a 60% reduction. Vitamin D3 is a form of vitamin D produced in the skin. It is likely that vitamin D had similar effects on both viral infections.
Avatar f tn Since you have a lung nodule, tuberculosis should be ruled out. Actually influenza vaccine is recommended in those who are immune-compromised and their contacts. Whether it can be given to individuals with autoimmune disorder or not is a controversial topic and needs to be taken on a case to case basis after complete clinical examination, and clearance from your physician. Take care!
168348 tn?1379357075 However, because some women are concerned about exposure to preservatives during pregnancy, manufacturers will produce preservative-free seasonal and 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccines in single dose syringes for pregnant women and small children. CDC recommends that pregnant women may receive influenza vaccine with or without thimerosal. Q. How many doses of the 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine will pregnant women need to get? A. The U.S.
Avatar m tn Sorry, but there is no cure for influenza. Influenza is a virus and the best thing you can do is to drink plenty of fluids (keep off milk products), stay in bed and rest. Any over the counter remedies to bring down the fever and relieve pain is fine. You may like to try Lemsip which is mixed in a mug full of hot water, it comes in blackcurrant and lemon flavours. Drinking freshly squeezed lemon juice with honey in hot water is very soothing.
Avatar n tn Sounds like you had influenza and a secondary bacterial infection of the sinuses and that is why the doctor prescribed the antibiotics. Influenza affects makes you feel ill all over. At a temperature of over 104, you should have been in hospital. That is very seriously high. I am glad you are better now.

Avatar n tn Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is difficult to confirm what could have exactly caused the infection in you with S.epidermidis, but the possibilities include compromised immune system after surgery which manifested itself with high fever as you mentioned or due to the stent which was placed after surgery. Do write to us if further information is required. Best.
Avatar n tn Can a human pass to another human viral infections like influenza or cold? If yes, how? Has to be a sexual intercourse or an exchange of saliva?
Avatar f tn Thanks for your response Dave! My daughter did have what I believed as influenza in the middle of all of this, I was high dosing myself on vitamin c and got mild symptoms so i cannot tell if this were a first time outbreak or I had what she had.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with influenza on sunday in the er and the doctor prescribed me with tamiflu 75mg but I'm worried about my baby getting harmed by the medication because I'm only 14 weeks...any comments or recommendations???
Avatar m tn i read the neutropenia and infection link in the 2-DAA thread. was wondering if docs are recommending pneumonia vaccinations or any other vaccinations before treatment. i am doing the hep a and b series.
Avatar m tn The time course for such cross-reactivity remains uncertain. Moreover, if the screening algorithm for acute HIV infection had called for the use of a nucleic acid amplification test instead of the Western blot assay to confirm the enzyme immunoassay, the index patient would not have received an indeterminate result.
