We assessed the contribution of influenza and other respiratory viruses to febrile respiratory illness among children enrolled at the ICDDR,B Kamalapur surveillance and intervention site [6] in an urban slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh
To evaluate viral causes of febrile respiratory illness, paired serum specimens were retrospectively selected from the surveillance period of December 6, 2000 to December 5, 2001, from patients with documented fever >38.5°C, a cough for >1 day but
