Burden of influenza-associated respiratory and circulatory mortality in India, 2010-2013.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Influenza causes substantial morbidity and mortality worldwide, however, reliable burden estimates from developing countries are limited, including India. We aimed to quantify influenza-associated mortality for India utilizing 2010-2013 nationally representative data sources for influenza virus circulation and deaths.
