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