Abstract

We describe three positive influenza AH1N1 cases in a neonatal unit during the influenza pandemic in Spain. One term baby presented with an upper respiratory tract infection, another preterm infant with an apnea episode following nosocomial infection, and thirdly, a term infant of a mother with influenza AH1N1 had severe respiratory distress and pneumothoraces needing high-frequency ventilation.
