Announcements

1. Pregnant women are at increased risk for severe complications and death from the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus (formerly called "novel H1N1 flu" or "swine flu"). 2. Early treatment (i.e., within 48 hours of illness onset) with influenza antiviral medications is recommended for pregnant women with suspected influenza illness. Clinicians should not wait for test results to initiate treatment since these medications work best if started as early as possible after illness onset http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/pregnancy/antiviral_messages.htm. Moreover, rapid diagnostic tests for influenza have variable sensitivities for detecting the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus (10-70%). A negative rapid test does NOT exclude the possibility of infection with 2009 H1N1 influenza http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/guidance/diagnostic_tests.htm. 3. Pregnancy has been identified as a co-morbid condition needing contact with a health care provider. CDC states that all pregnant women should be counseled about the early signs and symptoms of influenza infection and advised to immediately call for evaluation if clinical signs or symptoms develop. Since rapid access to antiviral medications is essential, health care providers who care for pregnant women should develop methods to ensure that treatment can be started quickly after symptom onset. This includes ensuring rapid access to telephone consultation and clinical evaluation for pregnant women. Also, consider empiric treatment of pregnant women based on telephone contact if hospitalization is not indicated and if this will substantially reduce delay before treatment is initiated. 4. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and ACOG recommend that pregnant women be vaccinated for both the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus and the seasonal flu [http://www.acog.org/publications/pdfs/co305.pdf]. Pregnant women can be vaccinated for influenza during any trimester. The H1N1 vaccine can be given postpartum, providing indirect protection for infants less
