Only 767 cases (15.2%) were confirmed as influenza virus infection by virological examination, the rest were suspected influenza cases and clinically diagnosed influenza cases. For preventive drug use, an adult group comprising 314 cases (17.5%) and a child group with 597 cases (18.7%) were identified. The dosage and course of treatment were more standardised, but there were too many types of combined drugs, and the indications of preventive use were i...Continue Reading
