Background: Infants and small children are the most effective transmitters of influenza, while bearing a high risk of hospitalization and adverse disease outcomes. This study aims to investigate virus load kinetics and resistance development during oseltamivir therapy in infants and children infected with influenza A(H1N1) 2009 and influenza B viruses. Methods: Virus load in nasopharyngeal samples and phenotypic/genotypic neuraminidase inhibitor resistance were determined at baseline, at day 5 and in additional follow-up samples, if available. Patient-specific viral clearance indices CLV(i) were determined along with estimates of the time required to achieve nondetectable virus load. Results: No evidence of baseline oseltamivir resistance was detected in 36 patients infected with influenza A(H1N1) 2009 (n = 27) or influenza B (Victoria, Yamagata; n = 9) before oseltamivir therapy. On average, viral loads were lower for influenza type B (median = 5.9 center dot 10(3)/mL) than for drug-resistant (median = 2.6 center dot 10(6)/mL) and sensitive A(H1N1) 2009 (median = 4.8 center dot 10(4)/mL), P = 0.04 and P = 0.09, respectively. Time required to achieve nondetectable virus load was significantly longer in drug-resistant A(H1N1) 2009 (median 15.4 days) compared with drug-sensitive A(H1N1) 2009 (P = 0.003; median 7.7 days) and drug-sensitive influenza B (P = 0.001; median 5 days). No evidence of viral rebound was observed once viral clearance was achieved. Conclusions: Our data indicate that influenza subtyping in combination with baseline viral load measurements might help to optimize the duration of antiviral therapy in the individual child. Lower than expected virologic response rates in patients without malabsorption or compliance issues may suggest resistance development.
