Abstract EN

We report the first case of a pregnant renal transplant patient with H1N1/09 infection.

The woman showed a mild clinical course after diagnosis of H1N1/09 infection and therapy with oseltamivir (2×45 mg per day).

After delivery by cesarean section, the neonate exhibited moderate respiratory and circulatory dysregulation, which spontaneously normalised a few days postpartum.

In conclusion, rapid diagnosis of H1N1/09 and dose-adapted therapy with oseltamivir resulted in successful delivery of a healthy infant in our renal transplanted patient but emphasized the need for consequent vaccination strategies in pregnant transplant recipients for new influenza A pandemics in the future.
