It analyzed plasma A(H1N1) 2009 reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, hemagglutinin 222G viral mutation, and humoral and cellular immune responses to the virus, assessed in hemagglutination inhibition (HI), microneutralization, ELISA, lymphoproliferative, ELISpot IFN-\u03b3, and cytokine and chemokine assays.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements and Main Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patients\u2019 median age was 35 years. Influenza A(H1N1) 2009 viremia was detected in 4 of 34 cases, and a 222G hemagglutinin mutation in 7 of 17 cases, all of them with sequential organ failure assessment greater than or equal to 8. HI antibodies were detectable in 19 of 26 survivors and undetectable in all six fatal fulminant cases. ELISA and microneutralization titers were concordant. B-cell immunophenotyping and plasma levels of immunoglobulin classes did not differ between patients who survived and died. After immune complex dissociation, influenza ELISA serology became strongly positive in the bronchoalveolar lavage of the two fatal cases tested. H1N1-specific T-cell responses in lymphoproliferative and IFN-\u03b3 assays were detectable in survivors\u2019 peripheral blood, and lymphoproliferative assays were negative in the three fatal cases tested. Plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were high in fatal cases and correlated with severity. Finally, a negative HI serology 4 days after the onset of influenza symptoms predicted death from fulminant influenza (P = 0.04).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Early negative A(H1N1) 2009 HI serology can predict death from influenza.
