However, compared with seasonal influenza, the difference between the male and female subpopulations is more pronounced.
In the second group of virus infection, influenza (Inf), activation was increased in the CD8+ T cells, and to some low extent also in the CD4+ T. However, for the Gr- and influenza groups, the differences as compared with the normal controls did not reach statistical significance.
The comparison to seasonal influenza highlights the difference in age groups hospitalized with H1N1 and the increased severity of pulmonary disease.
This distinction was especially marked for households in which there was a confirmed case of influenza, where the difference was 44.4% of children receiving outside care in non-compliant households compared with 2.4% of those that were compliant.
After stratifying by antiviral therapy and influenza type, the difference in LOS between SI and nH1N1 pediatric admissions persisted and antiviral therapy did not appear to significantly influence LOS in our study.
We believe that the method we developed allows for the comparison of time series of different influenza outbreaks, despite the differences in reporting systems and number of reported cases.
A recent study evaluating the effectiveness of hand hygiene and facemasks in preventing influenza transmission in households in Hong Kong showed reduction in influenza transmission, but the differences were not significant (24 ).
These discrepancies are potentially the result of reassortment in the influenza genome, differences in the size of the two data sets, or due to the Bayesian phylogeographic models themselves.
Cases were more likely than controls to report a range of recent respiratory symptoms and less likely to have received influenza vaccination, although the differences were not statistically significant.
Knowledge of H7N9 influenza A virus, including the differences between H7N9 and other respiratory diseases, transmission routes and "whether seasonal influenza vaccination could protect people from H7N9 infection" (total 9 questions).
