Girl, 11, is the latest to die from flu after parents turned down vaccine over fears of side effects


An 11-year-old Tennessee girl died earlier this week of complications from the flu just three days after contracting the potentially deadly virus.

The death of Savannah Hyden is just the latest in a growing number of flu-related deaths that has health officials worried.

Hyden died about 5 p.m. Wednesday at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital near Vanderbilt University near Nashvilled. According to her parents, the girl had not been given a flu vaccine this year.

pH1N1 Genetic Sequence
Sparsity
for
Tennessee​

Only two genetic sequences are on file from Tennessee during 2013 with none after March. Those distant sequences suggest a circulation pattern similar to Texas and New Mexico.

Texas communicated two TamiFlu Resistant cases in this week's Public Health report.

pH1N1 Genetic Sequence
Sparsity
for
Tennessee​

Only two genetic sequences are on file from Tennessee during 2013 with none after March. Those distant sequences suggest a circulation pattern similar to Texas and New Mexico.

pH1N1 TamiFlu Resistance
​

The most recent Tennessee sequence, sampled from a 53 year old woman in March 2013, is Drug Resistant (TmX275 onto a very common Neuraminidase) and displays CrossClade tendencies with Emergent H7N9 homology on the Hemagglutinin.

The Neuraminidase lineage is common; The CrossClade Hemagglutinin lineage was widespread to geographies supporting avian inclusions, e.g. Brazil [EPI484739] and Costa Rica [EPI484980].
