- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which compared the clinical features and outcomes for 2009 H1N1, seasonal H1N1 and H3N2 influenza. The study included children and adults, living in a 14-zip code area in Wisconsin, who complained of subjective fever, chills and cough. It found 545 patients diagnosed with 2009 H1N1, 221 with seasonal H1N1 and 632 with H3N2 infections. Pneumonia was highest in children with 2009 H1N1 infection, while hospitalization was greatest among those with seasonal H1N1. Study authors concluded that patients with 2009 H1N1 were younger than those who have H3N2.
