Abstract
In one semester, a group of 17 operating paediatricians of the Veneto
Region, co-related in a network, carried out a perspective
study on the incidence, clinical characteristics, costs, and treatment
of acute respiratory infections (IRA) on a total population of
16.760 children. In this period of time 3242 children were visited
for a total of 4017 episodes. In 1003 cases, a swab to reveal the
Influenza virus was made. It resulted positive in 1/3 cases, featuring
a significant association with a longer duration of fever. The
percentage of hospitalisations (1.2%), loss of working days for parents
(11%), and the use of antibiotics (32%), weigh in a relatively
moderate way.
