  • Travel and Age of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Virus Infection

    J Travel Med. 2010 Jul;17(4):269-70.
    Travel and Age of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Virus Infection.

    Abstract

    Age distribution of 4,986 cases of influenza A (H1N1) 2009 in Japan was analyzed. Cases with a travel history within 10 days preceding the illness onset were significantly older than indigenous cases (p < 0.01) reflecting age-specific travel patterns. Border controls should account for the high frequency of infection among adults.
