Abstract
A 19-year-old patient admitted in an oncology unit for an autograft (Hodgkin disease), developed on day 20 a fatal acute respiratory failure and multiple organ failure due to an infection of the A(H1N1)v2009 virus, which was acquired in the hospital, despite partial preventive measures. At that time, the specific vaccine was not available in R?union. We discuss the nosocomial origin of the infection. Following the epidemic wave, the vaccination rate of the general population and the hospital employees remains very low.
