Abstract:
Dialysis patients are at increased risk of contracting influenza A H1N1 and developing serious illness. Increasing the awareness of dialysis patients and continuous education and training of medical staff on early recognition and management of influenza A H1N1 can help in saving the life of patients. Antiviral drugs and influenza vaccines are effective in providing adequate immunity in dialysis patients with strict implementation of infection control policies and procedures can help in preventing and controlling the dissemination of influenza A H1N1 in dia-lysis units. We report a case of a patient who presented with H1N1 influenza and developed acute kidney injury during his hospitalization and his course with disease.
