L’éclosion des cas d’infection chez l’être humain par le nouveau virus de la grippe A (H1N1) d’origine porcine a débuté à Mexico en mars 2009. En date du 6 juillet 2009, plus de 94 000 cas confirmés en laboratoire avaient été signalés dans plus de 100 pays, dont 7983 au Canada. Dans le présent rapport, nous décrivons les caractéristiques épidémiologiques et cliniques du premier groupe de cas de transmission du nouveau virus de la grippe entre êtres humains au Canada.
