Characteristics of respiratory viral infections during influenza season in Canadian Hutterite Communities
Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, 7:1088-1092.
OBJECTIVES
To determined the pathogen-specific incidence of respiratory virus infection in Hutterite communities occurring over the 2008–2009 influenza season and assess temporal characteristics of respiratory illness related to infection.
METHODS
3273 participants community members enrolled in a cluster randomized trial of influenza vaccine were studied.
RESULTS
One hundred forty-nine participants had laboratory-confirmed influenza, and 595 had at least one episode of laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection other than influenza. Entero/rhinovirus had the highest incidence among children CONCLUSIONS
A decline in the incidence of infections with age was observed for influenza as well as for most other respiratory viruses.
