Abstract
This report describes the clinical features of H1N1 2009 influenza infection in 10 young renal patients receiving chronic dialysis or immunosuppressants, and to compare their durations of viral shedding with 20 healthy controls. Although patients shed the virus for longer periods compared with controls, all had a self-limited clinical course. Studies on indications, dosages and durations of antiviral therapy in renal and immunocompromised patients are warranted.
