Background:

- Influenza is a common disease and usually mild, but there are several types of flu viruses and they change over time, and some are more deadly than others. Recently, a new influenza A virus (known commonly as swine flu or H1N1) has emerged. This flu has spread rapidly around the world.

- It is important to understand the course of illness for those who have H1N1 and the characteristics of people who do not do well and who may need further treatment and care to recover from the flu. Researchers are interested in learning more about how different treatments and prior vaccination for the flu affects the course of illness in those who have contracted H1N1 flu.

Objectives:

- To study the immediate and long-term outcomes experienced by individuals who have been hospitalized with complications from H1N1v influenza.

Eligibility:

- Individuals 18 years of age and older who have a confirmed diagnosis of H1N1v-type flu and have been hospitalized for complications of the disease (such as respiratory distress requiring oxygen treatment).

Design:

- Researchers will collect and evaluate patient records from eligible individuals undergoing treatment for complications of H1N1v-type influenza.

- Blood and nasal/throat swab samples will be collected as required by the researchers at the time of enrollment in the study and 28 days after enrollment.

- Researchers will contact patients 28 and 60 days after initial hospitalization, and ask questions about health and recovery. Questions may include how many days flu symptoms lasted, what treatments were required, number of days of work or school missed, whether anyone else in the patient s household came down with the flu, and whether the patient has required any further medical care
