Pages 632-633 | Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

We diagnosed influenza infection in 2 children receiving maintenance treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Both patients received zanamivir within 1 d of the onset of fever and their symptoms of influenza were rapidly alleviated. We conclude that inhaled zanamivir seems to be an effective treatment for influenza infection in immunocompromised patients.
