Abstract
- During August-November 2009, to investigate disease transmission within households in Taiwan, we recruited 87 pandemic (H1N1) 2009 patients and their household members. Overall, pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus was transmitted to 60 (27%) of 223 household contacts. Transmission was 4x higher to children than to adults (61% vs. 15%; p<0.001). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
