Summary: In 2009, a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus emerged and rapidly spread around the world, leading to a pandemic. In contrast to the high rate of primary infection, reinfection with influenza A (H1N1) 2009 is rather rare. In this report, we describe a case of influenza A (H1N1) 2009 reinfection that occurred within an interval of 5 months in Thailand. Keywords: Influenza A (H1N1) 2009, Reinfection
