Abstract
Influenza antiviral treatment is recommended for all persons hospitalized with influenza virus infection. During the 2010–2011 influenza season, antiviral treatment of children and adults hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza declined significantly compared with treatment during the 2009 pandemic (children, 56% vs 77%; adults, 77% vs 82%; both P < .01).Keywords
