"WHO: Oseltamivir resistance in immunocompromised hospital patients"
The article clearly states that one third of all cases were immunocompromised. I believe they should have put "one third" in the title. It is misleading. All cases were not from immunocompromised patients.
Within the past two weeks, the number of documented cases of oseltamivir resistance in H1N1 viruses has risen from 57 to 96.
Around one third of these cases occurred in patients whose immune systems were severely suppressed by haematological malignancy, aggressive chemotherapy for cancer, or post-transplant treatment.
