Two more oseltamivir (Tamiflu)-resistant cases of novel H1N1 flu have been identified in the United States, bringing the US total to four, Dr. Scott Epperson of the CDC reported today during a teleconference sponsored by the National Influenza Vaccine Summit. "These two new cases as well as the first two reported 2 weeks ago were associated with treatment or prophylaxis with Tamiflu," Epperson said. The two latest cases were included in the CDC's weekly surveillance update issued Aug 21.
