Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics
treatment and prognosis of neonatal influenza A. Methods: Clinical data of 25 hospitalized neonates diagnosed with influenza A in Neonatology Department of Hunan Children’s Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics
auxiliary examinations
treatment process and outcomes of the neonates were analyzed. Results: Among the 25 cases
17 were male and 8 were female. There were 16 full-term infants and 9 premature infants
among which 7 were late premature infants. Eighteen cases occurred in winter and spring
