Many diagnosed with H1N1 are receiving the antiviral called Tamiflu, but what doctors are just now starting to realize, is that Tamiflu is having no effect on certain strains of the H1N1 virus.

Vietnam has reported multiple cases of possible Tamiflu resistance over the last couple of months. Unfortunately they have never (that I am aware of) released any sequences to confirm or deny this. But it certainly seems that it is spreading there.

Is Vietnam a location where Tamiflu resistance in H5N1 been detected?

Although Thailand has reported H274Y in quick PCR testing, the H1N1 data for Vietnam is indirect. There have been no H1N1 sequences from Vietnam (with or without H274Y). H247Y has been lab confirmed in Thailand, Singapore, Hunan, and Hong Kong in Asia.
Vietnam has reported H274Y in H5N1 patients after treatement with Tamiflu, and the adjacent sequences in H5N1 match the adjacent sequences in swine H1N1 (as well as a seasonal flu Brisbane/59 sequence from Indiana, A/Indiana/01/2008).

They banned you from flutrackers.com? Just for linking to us? I really think that we share a common goal of getting information out about this pandemic. I can't understand why there is enough animosity that they would ban serious, long term posters for providing an informative link...I think everybody on that board should really examine their motives in taking that kind of action. Hey, how do you spell "censorship"?

Wow, they are having a real problem, aren't they:
