“…Similar to our study, Principi and Esposito [13] did not find a difference in number of medical visits between flu positive and flu negative children. However, an Italian study [14] reports a much higher average cost for patients with flu or ILI than in our study, as well as 32% higher costs for flu patients compared to ILI patients without flu. They found higher costs for flu patients because compared to parents of ILI patients without flu, the mother and father incurred 1 and 2 more work days lost, respectively [14].…”

“…This approach, as adopted by Lee et al [40], again assumes that the average indirect costs associated with influenza are the same across subtypes and age groups. However, this may not always be correct, for example, one study found that [67] the indirect costs associated with influenza A disease in children were significantly higher than the indirect costs associated with influenza B disease.…”

“…Influenza B causes disease in all age groups, but older children and young adults tend to have higher rates of influenza B illness relative to influenza A [5,6]. Medically attended illnesses due to influenza A and B are generally similar with regard to symptoms, severity and rates of influenza-related complications [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Studies of severe influenza disease have demonstrated that influenza B infections also cause a significant proportion of influenza-attributable hospitalizations [20,21].…”
