<p id="Par1">The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of pneumonia and secondary bacterial infections during the pandemic of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Methods</title>
<p id="Par2">A systematic review was conducted to identify relevant literature in which clinical outcomes of pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection were described. Published studies (between 01/01/2009 and 05/07/2012) describing cases of fatal or hospitalised A(H1N1)pdm09 and including data on bacterial testing or co-infection.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Results</title>
<p id="Par3">Seventy five studies met the inclusion criteria. Fatal cases with autopsy specimen testing were reported in 11 studies, in which any co-infection was identified in 23% of cases (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 29%)</italic>
. Eleven studies reported bacterial co-infection among hospitalised cases of A(H1N1)2009pdm with confirmed pneumonia, with a mean of 19% positive for bacteria (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 54%)</italic>
. Of 16 studies of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, bacterial co-infection identified in a mean of 19% of cases (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 26%)</italic>
. The mean prevalence of bacterial co-infection was 12% in studies of hospitalised patients not requiring ICU (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 33%)</italic>
and 16% in studies of paediatric patients hospitalised in general or pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) wards (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 16%)</italic>
.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Conclusion</title>
<p id="Par4">We found that few studies of the 2009 influenza pandemic reported on bacterial complications and testing. Of studies which did report on this, secondary bacterial infection was identified in almost one in four patients, with <italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae</italic>
the most common bacteria identified. Bacterial complications were associated with serious outcomes such as death and admission to intensive care. Prevention and treatment of bacterial secondary infection should be an integral part of pandemic planning, and improved uptake of routine pneumococcal vaccination in adults with an indication may reduce the impact of a pandemic.</p>

<abstract id="Abs1"><sec><title>Background</title>
<p id="Par1">The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of pneumonia and secondary bacterial infections during the pandemic of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Methods</title>
<p id="Par2">A systematic review was conducted to identify relevant literature in which clinical outcomes of pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection were described. Published studies (between 01/01/2009 and 05/07/2012) describing cases of fatal or hospitalised A(H1N1)pdm09 and including data on bacterial testing or co-infection.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Results</title>
<p id="Par3">Seventy five studies met the inclusion criteria. Fatal cases with autopsy specimen testing were reported in 11 studies, in which any co-infection was identified in 23% of cases (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 29%)</italic>
. Eleven studies reported bacterial co-infection among hospitalised cases of A(H1N1)2009pdm with confirmed pneumonia, with a mean of 19% positive for bacteria (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 54%)</italic>
. Of 16 studies of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, bacterial co-infection identified in a mean of 19% of cases (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 26%)</italic>
. The mean prevalence of bacterial co-infection was 12% in studies of hospitalised patients not requiring ICU (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 33%)</italic>
and 16% in studies of paediatric patients hospitalised in general or pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) wards (<italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae 16%)</italic>
.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Conclusion</title>
<p id="Par4">We found that few studies of the 2009 influenza pandemic reported on bacterial complications and testing. Of studies which did report on this, secondary bacterial infection was identified in almost one in four patients, with <italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae</italic>
the most common bacteria identified. Bacterial complications were associated with serious outcomes such as death and admission to intensive care. Prevention and treatment of bacterial secondary infection should be an integral part of pandemic planning, and improved uptake of routine pneumococcal vaccination in adults with an indication may reduce the impact of a pandemic.</p>

<p id="Par24">Influenza pandemics cause morbidity and mortality from both direct viral effects, which tend to present early (within the first few days), and secondary bacterial complications, which tend to present later (after the first week). Evidence of influenza predisposing to bacterial co-infection is seen in seasonal influenza epidemics, past pandemics, pathology studies and animal models [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>
]. Infection with influenza disrupts the respiratory tract by direct pathogenic effects, which then predisposes to bacterial secondary infection. Conversely, bacterial pathogens in the respiratory tract may also predispose to influenza and other viral infection [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>
]. During the 1918 pandemic, bacterial pneumonia was a major cause of morbidity and mortality, as shown by studies at the time as well as retrospective study of pathology specimens [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>
]. At that time, antibiotics were not widely available as they are now, and it is thought that the high observed mortality rate was partially due to the inability to treat secondary bacterial sepsis. The most important bacterial co-infections during an influenza pandemic <italic>S. pneumoniae</italic>
, <italic>H. influenzae, S. aureus,</italic>
and group A <italic>Streptococcus</italic>
(1, 4). However, two early reviews of severe cases of 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) showed no evidence of bacterial pneumonia among 30 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed cases in California (5) and 10 intensive-care patients in Michigan (6). These reports might have led to a perception that bacterial co-infections played a limited role or no role in pandemic influenza deaths in 2009.</p>
<p id="Par25">The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of pneumonia and secondary bacterial infections during the 2009 pandemic of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title>
<sec id="Sec3"><title>Search strategy</title>
<p id="Par26">A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>
].We sought primary studies that presented quantitative data of invasive bacterial co-infection in influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 patients, defined as isolation of a bacterial pathogen from a sterile site. Databases searched included Medline, Pre-Medline, EmBASE and LILACS. The search strategy included a combination of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and text words to improve the identification of relevant publications in which bacterial co-infection was not necessarily the primary outcome of interest. The World Health Organisation (WHO) advised on the use of the standardised nomenclature influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in October 2011 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>
]. Prior to this time, various names were used to describe the pandemic virus. As such, a broad search strategy was developed to identify relevant literature in which clinical outcomes of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection were described.</p>
<p id="Par27">The Medline search included a combination of two searches. The first included the MeSH term influenza A H1N1 subtype OR text words influenza or flu adjacent to H1N1/pandemic/swine AND the MeSH term bacterial infections OR text words bacteria*, streptococcus, pneumococcus or staphylococcus adjacent to pneumonia, secondary, infection or evidence. The second search strategy included the influenza search terms and a combination of severity terms including fatal, severe, death, mortality, morbidity, hospitalisation, critical and admitted. The same search terms were applied to the other databases, after ensuring the MeSH terms of the relevant search terms were consistent across databases. Searches were limited to human studies, published in the English language between 01/01/2009 and 05/07/2012 or accessible online, ahead of print within this timeframe. Hand-searching of the reference lists of included studies and relevant reviews were also undertaken to identify other relevant papers.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="Sec4"><title>Inclusion and exclusion criteria</title>
<p id="Par28">We included all studies of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 which report bacterial infections (any sterile site) in influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 cases. Studies including only specific at-risk populations such as transplant or oncology patients or pregnant women were excluded. We included published English language papers of observational studies reporting on ≥10 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 patients. Case reports and small case series of < 10 patients were also excluded.</p>
<p id="Par29">Included cases were either fatal or hospitalised cases of confirmed or probable influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 confirmed by PCR or culture. Probable cases (13/75 studies) included those with positive influenza A serology during 2009–2010, but not testing of subtype.</p>
<p id="Par30">However, studies which included a mixed cohort of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and other laboratory-confirmed influenza strains or influenza negative cases were only included if clinical outcomes could be distinguished between influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and other confirmed strains. We excluded studies which described ambulatory influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 cases, including notifications, clinic visits or Emergency Department visits with no sub-group analysis in which hospital admission or death of patients was described.</p>
<p id="Par31">For included studies, the definition of co-infection was broad and included any study reporting either pulmonary infection or site unspecified with or without data on bacterial type tested, or specimen tested, including those reporting negative findings. We excluded studies reporting suspected bacterial pneumonia on the basis of clinical findings alone and studies which tested specimens for presence of co-infection with respiratory viruses only. Studies reporting contamination of endotracheal tubes only and those in which patients were recruited on the basis of bacterial infection were excluded if no data on other results were reported. We present the number of cases of reported pneumonia and those requiring mechanical ventilation as per the investigators definition.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="Sec5"><title>Data extraction and assessment</title>
<p id="Par32">Five reviewers (AH, MB, RT, IR,, HS,) with experience in conducting systematic reviews independently reviewed the titles and abstracts to identify potentially relevant papers. All potentially relevant papers were read by two reviewers (AH, MB) to determine those which met the selection criteria. The results of the search strategy are shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
. An identical data extraction template was used by all reviewers to extract the clinical outcomes, diagnostic data and treatment. Clinical outcomes included the diagnosis of bacterial co-infection, pneumonia, and death. Treatment included mechanical ventilation and use of antibiotics. Diagnostic data included determination of pneumonia and bacterial testing. We also extracted methodological details of the relevant studies including study design, study location and methods of case ascertainment. To ensure consistency in data extraction, each study was independently data extracted by two reviewers. All findings, including discrepancies between reviewers were discussed with an independent senior reviewer (CRM).<fig id="Fig1"><label>Fig. 1</label>

</p>
<p id="Par33">We report bacterial findings separately from pulmonary specimens when available. When site of specimen is not specified or combined, this is reported as such. We report the percentage of tested cases positive for bacteria when available. The variability of the available data precluded the aggregation of results in a quantitative meta-analysis. Results of the studies are summarised and a critically evaluation and interpretation provided. We present results separately for fatal cases, hospitalised cases with confirmed pneumonia, cases admitted to intensive care units (ICU) and hospitalised cases admitted to general wards including criteria for admission if reported. Pneumonia, hospital admission and ICU admission were accepted according to classification in the reviewed papers.</p>

<sec id="Sec7"><title>Summary of included studies</title>
<p id="Par34">A total of 7845 studies were identified on the 2009 pandemic, of which 1444 articles were initially identified from our search of studies potentially about both influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and bacterial infection. After removal of duplicates, non-human, non-English language, and non-influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 studies, 863 articles remained and abstracts were reviewed. Of those, 350 full papers were reviewed for relevance and 75 studies met the inclusion criteria. The PRISMA diagram of the study selection is shown in Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>
.</p>
<p id="Par35">Reporting of patient clinical outcomes, bacterial testing and bacterial findings varied widely in the included published studies. It was not clear in many studies if pneumonia was community or hospital acquired. The studies also varied in their methodologies and proportion of patients tested, as well as reporting of bacterial testing. Samples and time of sampling were not adequately described in most of the studies.</p>
<p id="Par36">Eleven studies were on fatal cases, including eight reporting autopsy results and three studies reporting bacterial findings from medical record reviews of notified deaths of confirmed influenza A(H1N1)pdm09. The remaining studies reported bacterial findings from hospitalised cases. Figure <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>

<p id="Par38">Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 infection was confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) in either ante-mortem nasopharyngeal swab or post-mortem lung tissue specimens for all cases in all studies. Case definitions for an included fatal case reflected national surveillance reporting and/or autopsy requirements during the pandemic period and enhanced surveillance for the identification of fatal cases included the review of the death certificate registries for influenza as a cause of death.</p>
<p id="Par39">The study details, bacterial testing and bacterial findings are summarised in Table <xref rid="Tab1" ref-type="table">1</xref>
. Where data were available, 44–100% of cases were hospitalised before death, including 55–100% in ICUs, with 35–100% requiring mechanical ventilation support during their hospitalisation and 25–94% of patients with clinical and/or autopsy evidence of pneumonia (viral or bacterial). From chart reviews, positive bacterial growth ranged from 2 to 38% (mean bacterial 23%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>
] of autopsied cases. Of the total coinfection cases, 29% were Streptococcus pneumoniae. The overall rate of bacterial infection was significantly higher in fatal cases compared to nonfatal cases (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.33 to 2.20). The Korean study of standardised case reports of A(H1N1)pdm09-associated deaths identified during a period of active surveillance estimated ILI case-fatality rate to be 16 per 100,000 cases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>

. Almost all studies include patients admitted to general wards, however some were transferred to ICU during the course of treatment. Most of the studies (19/22) reported bacteria testing and any positive bacterial growth was reported in 1.6–76% cases (mean bacterial 12%, Streptococcus pneumoniae 33%). The number of patients with S.pneumoniae co-infection varied from 1 to 31% depending on site of sample. Palacios et al. conducted a study in Argentina and bacteria was found in 76% of nasopharyngeal samples (152/199), of which Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated in 31% (62/199) samples [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>

<sec id="Sec13"><title>Discussion</title>
<p id="Par47">Secondary bacterial infection was an important complication of the 2009 influenza pandemic, with almost 1 in 4 severe or fatal cases having bacterial secondary infections, albeit with varying rates. Bacterial infection appeared to be associated with morbidity and mortality, with higher rates in adults, ICU patients and those with a fatal outcome. <italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae</italic>
was the most common bacteria identified, and in ICU patients, ventilator associated pneumonia with organisms such as <italic>Acinetobacter baumannii, Achromobacter xylosoxidans,</italic>
methicillin-resistant <italic>Staphylococcus aureus,</italic>
and <italic>Escherichia coli</italic>
was common. The prevalence of bacterial co-infection was lower in studies of hospitalized patients not requiring ICU and in studies of paediatric hospitalized patients, although the latter was quite varied.</p>
<p id="Par48">The overall morbidity and mortality of the 2009 pandemic varied by country, but was cited as being similar to a severe seasonal influenza epidemic [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR44">44</xref>
]. However, two important differences in the epidemiologic pattern of the 2009 pandemic were firstly, a low average age of death in fatal cases (53 years compared to 83 years during seasonal influenza) and high intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy rates [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>
]. These two features hint at a severe population impact, and a UK study showed a “w” shaped morbidity curve with a peak in young adults [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR46">46</xref>
].</p>
<p id="Par49">The 1918 pandemic has served as a reference point in pandemic planning, but availability of antibiotics, critical care and extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have vastly improved survival during a contemporary pandemic, so it would be unlikely that case fatality rates of 1918 would recur in the modern era [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR45">45</xref>
]. The use of ECMO rose sharply in 2009 and is associated with high rates of survival [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR47">47</xref>
].</p>
<p id="Par50">Further, in understanding the morbidity and mortality impact of a modern pandemic, it is important to quantify the relative contribution of direct viral effects compared to bacterial secondary infections, as treatment and prevention options are also available for bacterial infections.</p>
<p id="Par51">Testing for bacterial complications during an influenza pandemic is important, but was neglected in most studies which we screened for this review. For optimal response and mitigation of preventable morbidity and mortality, active surveillance during both seasonal and pandemic influenza is necessary, and systems should be in place for rapid assessment of secondary bacterial morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and treatment of secondary bacterial infections should always be considered during a pandemic [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>
].</p>
<p id="Par52">Currently there are limited data on bacterial coinfection during influenza pandemic in 1918. Morens et al. reviewed autopsy data from 58 lung tissue samples collected during the 1918 influenza pandemic and histologic evidence of severe bacterial pneumonia was found in almost all samples [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>
]. The authors also did a literature search around autopsy case series and examined data of 3074 subjects in 68 high quality autopsy case series. This showed that more than 92% of autopsy lung cultures were positive for at least one bacterium [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>
]. Another study by Chien et al. reviewed the studies that reported more than 10 sterile-site antemortem cultures from adults with pneumonia during 1918 pandemic [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR48">48</xref>
]. Culture positivity rates among influenza cases without pneumonia was very low (mean < 1%), compare to those with pneumonia (mean, 16%; range, 2 to 50) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR48">48</xref>
]. Bacterial co-infection rates among hospitalised cases with confirmed pneumonia in this study was 19%, which is comparable to Chien et al.</p>
<p id="Par53">The rate of bacterial co-infection may be underestimated as many cases are not tested for bacterial infections, and bacterial pneumonia cannot always be differentiated from viral pneumonia on the basis of clinical presentation, radiology and routine blood tests. There is also a need to develop diagnostic algorithms for early identification of bacterial infections in these cases to ensure early detection and treatment of bacterial complications.</p>
<p id="Par54">The WHO guidelines on vaccines and antivirals for a pandemic, along with many country-specific pandemic plans, do not consider pneumococcal vaccines [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR49">49</xref>
]. The CAPITA trial shows efficacy of conjugate pneumococcal vaccine against pneumonia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR50">50</xref>
], and the polysaccharide vaccine also has efficacy against invasive pneumococcal disease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR51">51</xref>
]. We have found evidence that severe and fatal cases of influenza during the 2009 pandemic did comprise secondary bacterial causes, including <italic>streptococcus pneumoniae</italic>
as a contributing factor. Vaccination against streptococcus pneumonia is often neglected in pandemic planning [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR52">52</xref>
], but could have a positive impact on morbidity and mortality. The evidence confirms that prevention of bacterial secondary infection should be an integral part of pandemic planning. Improving uptake of routine pneumococcal vaccination in adults with an indication will cover most patients at risk, and may reduce the impact of a pandemic.</p>
<p id="Par55">To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to estimate the prevalence of pneumonia and secondary bacterial infections during pandemic influenza A(H1N1)pdm09. We calculated bacterial co-infection rates separately for fatal cases, hospitalised cases with confirmed pneumonia, hospitalised cases admitted to ICU, hospitalised cases admitted to general wards and paediatric hospitalised cases, showing the highest risk of bacterial infection for fatal and ICU admitted cases.</p>

<p id="Par56">We found that secondary bacterial infection was an important complication of the 2009 influenza pandemic, with <italic>Streptococcus pneumoniae</italic>
the most common bacteria identified. Bacterial infection appeared to be associated with morbidity and mortality, with higher rates in adults, ICU patients and those with a fatal outcome. Prevention and treatment of bacterial secondary infection should be an integral part of pandemic planning, and improved uptake of routine pneumococcal vaccination in adults with an indication may reduce the impact of a pandemic.</p>
