A Concurrent Comparison of the Epidemiology and Clinical Presentation of Patients Hospitalized with Pandemic 2009 (H1N1) Influenza and Seasonal Influenza-A in Sub-himalayan Region of Himachal Pradesh.

Conclusions: The clinical features and outcomes of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza and current circulating seasonal influenza A strains were comparable in hospitalised patients. However, since both seasonal and pandemic influenza can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, the impact of pre-existing seasonal influenza should not be underestimated during the pandemic period.
