Abstract
Kidney transplant recipients are at a high risk for H1N1 infection associated complications during the current pandemic. Prevention of infection by immunization, together with early recognition and prompt antiviral treatment are critical. Post-exposure prophylaxis of H1N1 with oseltamivir was safe, effective and well tolerated to prevent H1N1 influenza A virus infection in newly transplanted renal allograft recipient receiving triple immunosuppression without any interaction with tacrolimus level. Oseltamivir was effective for post-exposure prophylaxis of H1N1 in close contact.
