[4] [5] [6] After the recent influenza A (H1N1, H5N1, and H7N9) and the Middle East Respiratory Virus (MERS-CoV) outbreaks, the WHO is encouraging and supporting countries to strengthen surveillance on severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) 7 but with limited information on PLWH regarding etiology and prognosis, despite their increased risk for respiratory infections and adverse outcomes. [8] [9] [10] So, in this study, we described how SARI is represented, according to clinical presentation, epidemiology and etiology in a population of PLWH with respiratory infection residing in a high-prevalence TB area. We observed two cases of influenza in the non-SARI group, respectively 20 and 30 days after symptom onset, and both patients developed respiratory failure that led to death (data not shown). ./cache/cord-318591-ssnlfjap.txt ./txt/cord-318591-ssnlfjap.txt
