Abstract
Antiviral-resistant influenza viruses in the clinical environment, especially type B, are reported rarely. A stem cell transplant recipient remained influenza B positive for 2 months, despite repeated antiviral treatments. Laboratory tests demonstrated the evolution and persistence of neuraminidase inhibitor-resistant influenza B virus with a substitution at codon 119.
