Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Virology

Background:

  • Limited data exists on infant influenza symptoms, particularly in those under one year of age.
  • Influenza poses a significant health concern for infants, necessitating a better understanding of its clinical presentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical symptoms, nutritional status, and sources of infection in 105 infants diagnosed with influenza.
  • To analyze age-related differences in influenza symptom severity and fever patterns in infants.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 105 infant influenza cases from 1989-1996.
  • Clinical examination of symptoms, nutrition, and infection source.
  • Viral studies conducted for pathogen identification.

Main Results:

  • Infants under 6 months exhibited mild symptoms, low fever, and few complications.
  • Symptom severity and the incidence of diphasic fever increased with infant age.
  • Over 50% of infants older than 9 months presented with diphasic fever.
  • Family members were the source of infection for most infants under 4 months.

Conclusions:

  • Influenza symptomology in infants is age-dependent, with younger infants experiencing milder illness.
  • Diphasic fever is a notable symptom in older infants with influenza.
  • Family transmission is a primary route for infant influenza infection.
