Abstract

First paragraph of letter:The possibility of a human influenza pandemic, arising from either mutation of an avian influenza virus or reassortment with a human strain, has received much attention and media exposure. Although there are some dissenters, the expert consensus remains that a pandemic is almost inevitable. The need for a greater appreciation of the risks and challenges posed by avian influenza, and the need for doctors to draw attention to this 'predicament of extraordinary proportions' has recently been highlighted.

Keywords: avian influenza, neuraminidase inhibitors, pandemic influenza, physicians' perception
