Description
Summary:Background Seasonal influenza‐associated mortality estimates help identify the burden of disease and assess the value of public health interventions such as annual influenza immunization. Vital registration is limited in Bangladesh making it difficult to estimate seasonal influenza mortality. Objectives Our study aimed to estimate seasonal influenza‐associated mortality rates for 2010‐2012 in Bangladesh. Methods We conducted surveillance among hospitalized patients with severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) for persons aged ≥5 years and severe pneumonia for children
