%X Influenza virus is a major health care burden and is associated with significant morbidity
and mortality. Data on morbidity and complications (pneumonia, otitis media, conjunctivitis,
tonsillitis, enteritis) due to influenza virus infection in primary care settings
are limited with reports mainly obtained from hospital settings. We assessed the prevalence
of complications from viral/bacterial infections in influenza- positive compared with
influenza- negative children presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) in a primary
care setting.
