Abstract
We assessed the impact of the H1N1 influenza pandemic on acute respiratory infection (ARI) in young children from low-income families in Brazil. Influenza (specifically H1N1) detection in ARI quintupled during the pandemic and, during its peak, it was associated with 30% of all ARI visits to the emergency department. H1N1 was also associated with increased risk of hospitalisation and co-infection.
