Comparing clinical characteristics between hospitalized adults with laboratory-confirmed influenza A and B virus infection

Su Su et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

We challenge the notion that influenza B is milder than influenza A by finding similar clinical characteristics between hospitalized adult influenza-cases. Among patients treated with oseltamivir, length of stay and mortality did not differ by type of virus infection.

Keywords: adult; antiviral treatment; hospitalization; influenza A and B virus infection.
