Abstract:
Influenza-associated infections cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among immunocompromised patients. Immunization is the primary mode of prevention of disease; however, efficacy in immunocompromised patients may be limited. Antiviral medications are important for treatment and prophylaxis of affected individuals. This article reviews treatment and prevention recommendations for the 2016-2017 influenza season in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
