Abstract
|
|
|
|
Oseltamivir is a potent selective neuraminidase enzyme inhibitor and effective against nearly all strains of influenza A and B. The importance of treating influenza has been recognized, and oseltamivir has been prescribed frequently at the onset of the H1N1 influenza A pandemic this year. However, oseltamivir can cause hemorrhagic colitis as a rare adverse effect. Until now, only two cases of hemorrhagic colitis following the use of oseltamivir have been reported in Japan, and none have been reported in Korea. We report a case of acute hemorrhagic colitis in a 15-year-old boy after the oral administration of oseltamivir for swine originating influenza A.
