Abstract
Influenza pandemics are usually caused by the re-assortment of several influenza viruses, results in the emergence of new influenza virus strains that can infect the entire population. These pandemic strains, as well as seasonal influenza viruses, are subjected to extensive antigenic change that has, so far, prevented the generation of a universal vaccine.
Samples of patients hospitalized due to infection with the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus (A(H1N1)pdm09) from 2009, when the virus first appeared, until 2013 were analyzed.
While many patients were hospitalized in 2009 due to infection with the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus, only small percentages of patients were hospitalized later in 2010–2012. Surprisingly, however in 2012–2013, we noticed that the percentages of patients hospitalized due to the pandemic H1N1 influenza infection increased significantly. Moreover, the ages of hospitalized patients differed throughout this entire period (2009–2013) and pregnant women were especially vulnerable to the infection.
High percentages of patients (especially pregnant women) were hospitalized in 2013 due to the A(H1N1)pdm09 infection, which may have been enabled by an antigenic drift from those which circulated at the onset of the pandemic.

These pandemic strains, as well as seasonal influenza viruses, are subjected to extensive antigenic change that has, so far, prevented the generation of a universal vaccine.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Samples of patients hospitalized due to infection with the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus (A(H1N1)pdm09) from 2009, when the virus first appeared, until 2013 were analyzed.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>While many patients were hospitalized in 2009 due to infection with the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus, only small percentages of patients were hospitalized later in 2010–2012.

Moreover, the ages of hospitalized patients differed throughout this entire period (2009–2013) and pregnant women were especially vulnerable to the infection.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>High percentages of patients (especially pregnant women) were hospitalized in 2013 due to the A(H1N1)pdm09 infection, which may have been enabled by an antigenic drift from those which circulated at the onset of the pandemic.</p></sec><sec><title>Electronic supplementary material</title><p>The online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12879-014-0710-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.</p></sec></abstract><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2014</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1"><title>Background</title><p>Influenza viruses are responsible for most respiratory infections, affecting all age groups, particularly the elderly population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>],[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. Annual epidemics of seasonal influenza are estimated to result in approximately three to five million cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths worldwide (WHO, 2009). The virus contains a single strand RNA molecule which encodes at least 12 proteins; of these proteins, M2, an ion channel protein, neuraminidase (NA) and hemagglutinin (HA) are expressed on the cell surface of infected cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>].</p><p>In influenza virus-infected cells, the assembly and the budding of progeny viruses is the final and critical step in the life cycle of the virus. This step, which significantly affects disease progression [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>], requires the coordinated localization of the viral HA and NA proteins to lipid rafts domains on the apical cell membrane [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. Membrane localization of HA and NA allows the virus to acquire these glycoproteins by simply budding through the host cell membrane [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. To complete viral particle budding, the viral NA enzyme cleaves sialic acid residues that link the progeny virus to the infected cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p><p>Because the “foreign” HA and the NA proteins are found on the virus and on the infected cells, they elicit innate, humoral and cellular immune responses, directed against the virus. To avoid this immune attack, both the HA and the NA proteins undergo extensive antigenic changes, complicating design of a universal vaccine that would be effective against all influenza strains. The WHO vaccine that is administered each year is based on the antigenic properties of emerging and circulating strains and contains three influenza virus strains. Nevertheless, every year, millions are infected with influenza.</p><p>In addition, influenza pandemics, that occur every few decades, pose a major global threat. Three influenza pandemic outbreaks occurred in the 20th century and one has already been recorded in the current century. The most devastating, was the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic (A/H1N1), which lasted only two years (1918–1919), but took the lives of approximately 50 million people [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. Two later influenza pandemics, that occurred in 1957 (Asian flu, H2N2) and in 1968 (Hong Kong flu, H3N2), resulted in approximately 70,000 and 34,000 deaths, respectively, in the US alone [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>]. The most recent influenza (A(H1N1)pdm09) pandemic emerged in 2009. Although the mortality rate was relatively low, many people around the world were infected by the virus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. The emergence of new pandemic in recent years provides us with a unique opportunity to study the virus spread and evolution through out the years from the time it first appeared until today.</p><p>Here, we analyzed data obtained from patients hospitalized in the period between May 2009 and May 2013 due to A(H1N1)pdm09 infection. We observed that in 2013 a significant number of patients (including increasing percentages of pregnant women) were hospitalized due the A(H1N1)pdm09 infection and we suggest that the virus re-appeared because of antigenic changes it acquired over the last 4 years.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Ethics</title><p>This is a retrospective study performed on anonymous patient samples that were analyzed for the presence of various viruses, as part of the routine tests performed in the Sheba Medical Center.

We noticed that the percentages of patients hospitalized due to the pandemic H1N1 influenza infection increased significantly in this year. Interestingly, we also observed that pregnant women were especially vulnerable to the infection. We have started this research by analyzing the percentages of patients infected with the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus from the time it first appeared in the country until 2013. The new influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus was observed in Israel throughout the entire year of 2009 following its initial identification in May 2009. A(H1N1)pdm09-infected patients were hospitalized from May 2009 until the virus ceased to be prevalent, at the end of the first quarter of 2010 (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). From the end of 2010 until the beginning of 2011, relatively fewer patients were hospitalized due to the A(H1N1)pdm09 infection. Only sporadic cases of A(H1N1)pdm09 infection were reported in the winter season of 2011–12. However, surprisingly, at the beginning of 2013, the percentages of patients hospitalized due to A(H1N1)pdm09 infection increased dramatically (Figure <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>).<fig id="Fig4"><label>Figure 4</label><caption><p><bold>The percentage of positive cases for pregnant women.</bold> The percentages (out of the 21–40 age group) of pregnant women hospitalized due to influenza-like syndrome and infected with the pandemic 2009 influenza virus from 2009-today (2013).

As can be seen, in 2009–10, when the virus first appeared, approximately 60% of the patients admitted with respiratory disease at week 29 of the year were infected with the virus strain. In the following years, infection rates dropped significantly and in 2011–12 (week 16), at the peak of infection for that year, only 5% of the patients were infected with A(H1N1)pdm09 (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>a) and less than 1% of patients were hospitalized due to A(H1N1)pdm09 infection throughout the entire year (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>b). In week 6 of 2012–13, a dramatic increase in the percentages of hospitalized patients was observed, with around 20% of the patients presenting infection with the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>a). Similarly, the annual percentages of patients hospitalized due to the A(H1N1)pdm09 infection was higher as compared to 2011–2012 (Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>b).</p><p>To investigate the reasons accounting for the return of the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in 2013, we analyzed the ages of the infected patients over three periods: when the virus first appeared (2009–10), when only a low percentage of patients were infected with the virus (2010–12; the age of the patients in each year was not analyzed separately due to the small number of patients hospitalized in these years) and at 2013, when a relatively high percentage of patients was hospitalized due to the A(H1N1)pdm09 infection. In 2009–10, most of the infected patients were 21–60 years of age (Figure <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref> and Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>).

Particular focus was placed upon the 21–40 age group, as in 2013, this group was particularly affected by the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. The highest number of patients (between the ages of 21–40) hospitalized due to influenza symptoms was observed in 2009–10, when the A(H1N1)pdm09 first appeared (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>), with similar prevalence among males and females (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). In 2010–12, fewer patients were hospitalized with influenza-like illness, which equally affected both males and females (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). In contrast, in 2013, when a new wave of A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection arrived, the number and the percentages of women hospitalized due to A(H1N1)pdm09 infection were much higher than those of the men (Table <xref rid="Tab2" ref-type="table">2</xref>). More specifically, the percentages of pregnant women hospitalized due to the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus infection gradually increased from 2009 until 2013, accounting for <60% of the women (ages 21–40) infected in 2013 (Figure <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). A simple logistic regression analysis (Table <xref rid="Tab3" ref-type="table">3</xref>) showed that within the group of pregnant women, no differences in the ages of the infected women were noticed throughout the year, however, as we demonstrate here, differences in the increased percentages of infected women were observed in 2012–13.<table-wrap id="Tab3"><label>Table 3</label><caption><p><bold>Logistic regression</bold></p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><th>Variable</th><th>Odds ratio</th><th>p-value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Period 2009–10 (Reference)</td><td char="." align="char">1</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Period 2010-12</td><td>(1.33-4.77) 2.52</td><td char="." align="char">0.0045</td></tr><tr><td>Period 2010-13</td><td>(4.53-11.5) 7.21</td><td><.0001</td></tr><tr><td>Age (as continuous)</td><td>1.01 (0.99-1.04)</td><td char="." align="char">0.3486</td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></p></sec><sec id="Sec11"><title>Circulation of genetic variants of the pandemic H1N1 influenza virus strains</title><p>The differences in the ages of the hospitalized patients observed throughout the years and the rebound of the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection observed in 2012–13, led us to hypothesize that the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus had undergone changes during this short period. Several influenza viruses were isolated from the samples collected during these years, to amplify their hemagglutinin gene using the primers described in Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>. The obtained sequences were used to build a phylogenetic tree. Viruses isolated in 2009 and in 2013 diverged differently in the phylogenetic tree (Figure <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5</xref>).

The last influenza pandemic, which occurred in 2009 and was caused by the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, is the second documented pandemic involving H1N1 influenza viruses. The first one was the 1918 influenza pandemic which killed tens of millions of people [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. The 2009 influenza virus resulted from triple reassortment of bird, swine and human influenza viruses further combined with a Eurasian pig flu virus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>].</p><p>As shown here and by others [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>], at the beginning of 2009, unlike most strains of influenza viruses [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>], adults older than 60 years of age were less affected by the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>], while the most affected group of patients were within the 21–40 year-old age. In contrast, we show here, as far as we know, for the first time, that when the virus returned in 2013, that in addition to the 21–40 year-old adults, adults over 60 years of age were particularly sensitive to infection. The reasons accounting for the age-dependent sensitivity of the different age groups are unknown. Moreover, more women were hospitalized in 2013 due to A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection, which we attribute to the increased hospitalization of pregnant women observed in 2013. Already in 2009, when the virus first appeared, pregnant women and obese individuals were shown to be more susceptible to infection [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>],[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. In 2009–2010 when the A(H1N1)pdm09virus first appeared other influenza virus strains were hardly detected [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>],[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>]. In later years infections with the following H3N2 viruses A/Perth/16/2009-like and A/Victoria/361/2011-like were detected. Furthermore, the pattern of respiratory virus infections (other than influenza) changed during this time period, especially around 2009 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>]-[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>]. We don’t think however that this is the reason of why more pregnant women were hospitalized in 2013 due to the A(H1N1)pdm09 infection. Thus, it is currently unknown why pregnant women are more sensitive to infection with the pandemic virus.</p><p>The 2009 pandemic influenza began in Mexico [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. The Mexican government closed most of Mexico City's public and private facilities in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus; however, it continued to spread globally. In June 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. CDC stopped counting cases of people infected with the virus and WHO declared the outbreak of a pandemic.</p><p>As reported here and by others [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>],[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>], the pandemic declined around the world at the beginning of 2010. In August 2010, the Director-General of the WHO announced the end of the H1N1 pandemic [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>], further informing that the pandemic influenza virus had moved into the post-pandemic period and could be considered a seasonal influenza virus. Today, experts, including at the WHO, have agreed that an estimated 284,500 people were killed by the disease, much higher than the initial estimates of the death toll. We demonstrated here, however, that the virus did not disappear, as reported by others as well [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>].</p><p>However, we submit that the risk of infection with the H1N1pdm09 virus should still be taken seriously and that its ability to cause severe disease has not abated: while in 2010–2012 the virus was detected at low percentages in hospitalized patients, in 2013, infections with the pandemic influenza virus increased dramatically and affected a variety of age groups. We suggest that genetic alterations, which resulted in reduced viral recognition by antibodies generated against the 2009 pandemic influenza virus, underlie the return of the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus in 2013. This is despite observations, we made previously in which we show that around half of the Israeli population had antibodies against A(H1N1)pdm09 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. Nevertheless, the fact that the virus, in 2013, primarily infected elderly individuals and people at the ages between 21–40, support the claim that it transformed from a pandemic virus to a seasonal influenza virus. Still, the dramatic increase in the percentages of hospitalized patients, especially pregnant women, in 2013, suggests that the threat from the pandemic virus still exists.</p></sec></body><back><app-group><app id="App1"><sec id="Sec13"><title>Authors’ original submitted files for images</title><p>Below are the links to the authors’ original submitted files for images.<media position="anchor" xlink:href="12879_2014_710_MOESM1_ESM.gif" id="MOESM1"><caption><p>Authors’ original file for figure 1</p></caption></media><media position="anchor" xlink:href="12879_2014_710_MOESM2_ESM.gif" id="MOESM2"><caption><p>Authors’ original file for figure 2</p></caption></media><media position="anchor" xlink:href="12879_2014_710_MOESM3_ESM.gif" id="MOESM3"><caption><p>Authors’ original file for figure 3</p></caption></media><media position="anchor" xlink:href="12879_2014_710_MOESM4_ESM.gif" id="MOESM4"><caption><p>Authors’ original file for figure 4</p></caption></media><media position="anchor" xlink:href="12879_2014_710_MOESM5_ESM.gif" id="MOESM5"><caption><p>Authors’ original file for figure 5</p></caption></media></p></sec></app></app-group><fn-group><fn><p><bold>Competing interests</bold></p><p>The authors declare that they have no competing interests.</p></fn><fn><p><bold>Authors’ contributions</bold></p><p>HS, JM, TM, MH reviewed and collected the data.
