Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In this study, a consortium of intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia and New Zealand reported their experience with admissions associated with infection with the 2009 H1N1 virus. The overall rate of ICU admission was estimated to be 28.7 per million persons, approximately 15 times that in previous years. During the period of peak transmission in communities, the ICU bed-occupancy rate ranged from 8.9 to 19.0%. A consortium of ICUs in Australia and New Zealand report their experience with admissions associated with infection with the 2009 H1N1 virus. Infection with the 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) virus emerged in Mexico toward the end of the 2008–2009 influenza season in the Northern Hemisphere. As of September 6, 2009, the World Health Organization had reported over 277,607 laboratory-confirmed cases of 2009 H1N1 influenza, with at least 3205 deaths. 1 From June through August 2009, Australia and New Zealand experienced the combined effect of the pandemic and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The reported incidence of infection with the 2009 H1N1 virus during winter in Australia and New Zealand was 8 times that reported for the same period in the United States. . . .
