Influenza-related Deaths in Young Children: Observations From a German Case Series
Listen to this summary
The authors investigate the occurrence of fatal influenza infections in previously healthy young children, reporting four cases from Southwest Germany during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons. They found that three children were infected with influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 and one with influenza B, highlighting the serious risk of severe outcomes from influenza in this age group. The findings suggest a need to reconsider vaccination recommendations for healthy children in light of these risks.
