2. Presence of a medical condition(s) that had been associated with increased risk of complications from influenza
* Age 65 years of age or older
* Asthma
* Neurological and neuro-developmental conditions (including disorders of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and muscle such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy \[seizure disorders\], stroke, moderate to severe developmental delay, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury) \[though still able to provide informed consent per inclusion criteria #1\]
* Chronic lung disease (such as COPD and cystic fibrosis)
* Heart disease (such as congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, and coronary artery disease)

5. One of the following to avoid pregnancy:
* Females who were able to become pregnant (i.e., are not postmenopausal, have not undergone surgical sterilization, and are sexually active with men) must agree to use at least 2 effective forms of contraception from the date of informed consent through 6 months after the last dose of study drug. At least one of the methods of contraception should be a barrier method
* Males who had not undergone surgical sterilization and are sexually active with women must agree to use condoms plus have a partner use at least one additional effective form of contraception from the date of informed consent through 6 months after the last dose of study drug
6. Willingness to have samples stored
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

2. Inability to take oral medication or a history of gastrointestinal malabsorption that would preclude the use of oral medication.
3. Hemoglobin \< 10 g/dL
4. WBC \< 1.5 times 10(9)/L
5. Neutrophils \< 0.75 x 10(9)/L
6. Platelets \< 50 x 10(9)/L
7. History of genetic hemoglobinopathy (e.g., thalassemia major or sickle cell anemia) or autoimmune hemolytic anemia
8. Received more than 2 doses of any antiviral influenza medications since onset of influenza symptoms
9. Received stavudine (d4T), didanosine (ddI), zidovudine (AZT), or azathioprine within 30 days prior to study entry

17. Use of any investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever was longer) prior to study entry
18. Participation in other research protocols that would require more than 100 mL of blood to be drawn in any 4-week period that overlaps with this study.
