Abstract:
Influenza is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for pediatric cancer patients. We review important aspects in the management of influenza, including virology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, and antiviral treatment. Topics that are addressed include optimal treatment of influenza in children with cancer as well as strategies for prevention. This includes both pre-/post-exposure chemoprophylaxis and vaccination.
