Key result
Pandemic H1N1 influenza infection was associated with thrombotic vascular events in 5.9% (7 of 119) of hospitalized patients.
Hospitalized patients with pandemic H1N1 influenza A infection have a notable incidence (5.9%) of thrombotic vascular events.
May signal elevated thrombotic risk in hospitalized H1N1; leaves open need for prospective validation and prophylaxis trials.
During the summer and fall of 2009, significant thrombotic events were observed in patients infected with the pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus. In a retrospective chart review of 119 individuals admitted to the hospital with H1N1 virus infection, 7 patients (5.9%) were found to have experienced thrombotic vascular events.
