Abstract

Among 4200 adults who presented with acute respiratory symptoms at a variety of medical practice settings (November 2006 through May 2012), only 13 (0.3%) nasal/throat swabs were positive for influenza C. Influenza C was rarely associated with medical care visits in adults.

Keywords: Influenza C; RT-PCR; adults.
