Peripheral blood cells expression data form 7 patients with severe pdm(H1N1) influensa and 7 gender and age matched healthy controls

Using PAXgene tubes, peripheral blood samples were collected from seven patients >18 years with documented pdm(H1N1) influenza, bilateral chest infiltrates, and in need of ventilation support. Significant co-morbidity was exclusion criterion. Expression profiles were compared with 7 age matched controls. Using a false discovery rate < 5% and an absolute fold change > 2, 370 genes were differentially expressed in case and controls.
