Acute respiratory infections and winter pressures on hospital admissions in England and Wales 1990-2005

Abstract

During each winter acute bronchitis provides a consistent and major contribution to the winter admissions surge in the elderly. The variable incidence of ILI can increase the surge in admissions, especially when ILI and acute bronchitis peak together.
