Abstract：In early April 2009,cases of human infection with novel influenza A pandemic(H1N1)2009 (pandemic[H1N1]2009)virus were identified in United States and Mexico and then spread rapidly to other regions of the world.Chinese scientists,including epidemiologists.virologists and clinical physicians worked hard on this new infectious disease.As the Ieader of National novel influenza A pandemic(H1N1)2009 Clinical Investigation Group of China,Dr.Chen Wang and his colleagues made important progress about the clinical features of the initial novel influenza A H1N1 2009 cases in China.They demonstrate that the public health response to curtail the spread of novel pandemic H1N1 is prompt and effective in China.They found that most victims have a mild illness,fever may be absent in 33%of cases,detection of influenza virus by rRT-PCR is typically 6 days(whether or not fever is present).An age＜14 years,male sex,and onset-to-oseltamivir interval＞48 hours are the independent risk factors for prolonged rRT-PCR positivity.
