- Abstract
Early antiviral treatment is recommended for patients with confirmed or suspected influenza who have a severe, complicated, or progressive illness or who require hospitalization and for outpatients who are at a higher risk of influenza complications due to their age or underlying medical condition, because early antiviral treatment can reduce the risk of complications or even death related to influenza. Patients should not be treated with amantadine and rimantadine because of the high levels of resistance among recently circulating influenza A viruses. Oseltamivir remains the only recommended and only available neuraminidase inhibitor in Poland. Oseltamivir can also be used in influenza chemoprophylaxis.
