The underrecognized burden of influenza in young children

Article Abstract:

A study seeks to determine rates of medical visits attributable to influenza through the surveillance of children younger than five years of age who presented to the inpatient and outpatient settings with acute respiratory tract infections or fever. Results show that among young children, outpatient visits associated with influenza were 10 to 250 times as common as hospitalizations, and that most influenza infections were not diagnosed clinically.
