[PAGID] It's nearly influenza time

[Kathleen E. Sullivan]

I'm curious to know how people handle their patients with significant  
T cell compromise in flu season.  I'm not worried about the patients  
who have mild decrements in T cell numbers but rather those who are  
borderline for a transplant and influenza could do significant harm.

Are you recommending Tamiflu as season-long prophylaxis?
Are you giving Tamiflu PRN cough/fever?
Counting on a vaccine?

Alternative strategies?
