Abstract EN
Background.
Pregnant women are a high-risk group for morbidity and mortality from influenza.
During the current pandemic of H1N1 influenza, few cases of H1N1 have been reported in pregnancy.
Cases.
We report two cases of H1N1 influenza which occurred in single institution in the course of one month.
The first patient developed acute respiratory distress syndrome, required intubation, and eventually died.
The second patient had influenza H1N1 that did not have any major sequela.
Conclusion.
H1N1 influenza in pregnancy can be associated with severe complications.
Widespread vaccination, when available, prompt diagnosis, and adequate treatment with antiviral medications when infection occurs are required.
