Objective: This study aimed to determine the seasonal distribution of the factor data of viral agents determined by the multiplex PCR method in routine practice in patients admitted to the hospital with upper respiratory tract infection symptoms and to detect oseltamivir resistance in viruses that are positive for Influenza A (H1N1).
Methods: Nasopharyngeal swab and bronchoalveolar lavage samples of 354 patients between the ages of 0-94 who were admitted to the Sakarya University Sakarya Training and Research Hospital with symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection between 12 September 2019 and 19 February 2020 were studied with the multiplex PCR method. Oseltamivir resistance was investigated in 11 samples selected from Influenza A (H1N1) positive samples by Sanger sequence analysis method.
Results: One or more respiratory viruses were identified in 233 (66%) of 354 respiratory samples evaluated. Of these, 64 (27.5%) are Influenza A/H1N1, 4 (1.7%) are Influenza A/H3N2, 24 (10.3%) are Influenza B, 64 (27.5) are Respiratory. Syncytial Virus A/B (RSV A/B), 58 (24.9%) Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, 18 (7.7%) Adenovirus, 12 (5.2%) Human Metapneumo Virus (hMPV) ), 10 (4.3%) Bocavirus, 4 (1.7%) Parainfluenza 1, 7 (3%) Parainfluenza 3, 3 (1.3%) Parainfluenza 4, 5 (2.1%) were found to be Coronavirus HKU1 and 13 (5.6%) were found to be Coronavirus NL63. More than one factor was detected simultaneously in 45 of 233 positive samples (19.3%). Oseltamivir resistance was not found in any of the 11 influenza A/H1N1 positive samples.
Conclusion: No oseltamivir resistance was observed in any of the Influenza A/H1N1 positive samples evaluated in this study. Periodic analysis of influenza A/H1N1 strains for oseltamivir resistance is necessary to guide empirical treatment.
