What is a pandemic?
• Greek-pan=all,demos=people
• WHO definition
– Emergence of a new infectious disease
– Agents infect humans causing serious illness
– Agents spread easily and sustainably among
humans
• Pandemic phasesWHO definitions
The 1918 pandemic
• 1918- a severe haemmorhagic disease
• Deaths by secondary infection- mainly
pneumonia
• ‘Cytokine storm’ overwhelms healthy
immune sytems
• Severe forms spread widely due to
transport of infected soldiers in crowded
trains to field hospitals
1918-19 epidemic-comparision of age
profile with 1917 seasonal flu age
profile
Rate per 100,000 of new cases of
pandemic influenza in England by
week and age group (17/09/09-HPA)
Antiviral prescriptions as of
17/09/09 (HPA)
Previous flu pandemics
‘Spanish flu’ 1918-19
– H1N1
• Infected a third of the
worlds population
• Killed 50 million in 6
months
• 200,000 died in UK
• 2-3% mortality
‘Asian flu’ 1956-57
– H2N2
• Mainly young children
• Clinical attack rate 30%
• Mortality<0.2%
UK mortality 1918
figure taken from Center for Disease Control and Prevention USA
Pandemic of 1918 and nowcomparision
• Started in one military
installation in US
• Weakened population at end of
war
• Affected mainly young adults
• More serious cases often
travelled in crowded trains and
in field hospitals- spreading
infection
• Very rapid spread throughout
the world
• Began to subside when
doctors started to treat
pneumonia with antibiotics
• Started in multiple generational
community in Mexico
• Antivirals available before
vaccine
• Heightened emergency
preparedness due to alerts on
anthrax/bioterrorism in 9/11
• Open and prompt monitoring of
cases
• Recognised rating system to
declare a pandemic
• Digital media communications
• Containment of cases early on
• Only milder cases tend to
travel and spread infection
• Milder infection
Case Definition/Diagnostic criteria
• Fever >38 C or a history
of fever

Prescribe made up
solution
• 15 mg in 1 ml
• (Bitter taste)-syringe
graduated in ml
Can get Tamiflu
suspension
• 12 mg in 1 ml -syringe
graduated in mg
• 2mg/kg bd 5/7
• Not licensed
• Potential
neurotoxicity/
• Encephalopathy
• Could be ineffective in
<4 weeks old
• RCPCH consensus
statement
• So weigh up risks and
benefits
Side effects of oral antivirals
• Gastroenterological
– Nausea
– Abdominal pain
– diarrhoea
• Neuropsychiatric
– Irritability
– Reduced concentration
– Bad dreams
– delusions
H1N1 virus -vaccines
Introducing a new vaccine
• Burden of disease
• Availability of timely and safe treatment for
disease
• Availability and efficacy of vaccine
• Safety profile of vaccine
• Disease profile (age/clinical groups)
• Acceptability
• Cost/effectiveness
Vaccine characteristics
Vaccine characteristics
Vaccine characteristics
1976-New Jersey strain H1N1
•
•
•
•
•
40 million people vaccinated
Vaccine withdrawn after 10 weeks
500 cases of Guillain Barre syndrome
25 deaths
8 fold increase in baseline incidence of
Guillain Barre
Gullian barre syndrome
• Acute flaccid paralysis
• Muscle weakness, loss of
sensation
• due to demyelination
• caused by autoimmunity
to myelin sheath of nerve
cells.
• 80% recover. Some
progress. Mortality 2-3%
Fisher syndrome
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Variant of Guillain Barre
Abnormal muscle co-ordination
Paralysis of eye muscles
Absent tendon reflexes
Specific autoantibodies.
Prognosis good
Recovery within 2-4 weeks

•

•
Presenting problem(s)
History- ask about:
Onset and progression of weakness
Distribution and symmetry of weakness
Sensory symptoms (pain, parasthaesia)
Cranial nerve involvement (particularly
bulbar dysfunction, diplopia)
Gait disturbance
Sphincter disturbance
Symptoms of autonomic dysfunction
(sweating, palpitations)
Respiratory symptoms
History of recent infection/diarrhoea/fever
Medications (antibiotics, analgesics)
•
Examination:
•
•
Primary assessment (ABCDE)
Conscious level (use modified Glasgow Coma
Scale)
Cranial nerve function including
Eye movements
Facial weakness
Bulbar function (speech, swallow, gag, cough,
drooling)
Peripheral neurological examination to include
evaluation of:
Motor deficit (tone, power, reflexes)
Ataxia
Sensory dysfunction (location, sensory level if
present)
Neck and spine (rigidity, tenderness, bruising)
Respiratory examination (include respiratory rate,
vital capacity, O2 sats)
Cardiovascular examination (include pulse, blood
pressure)
Abdominal examination (palpable bladder,
constipation, sensation, abdominal reflexes)
