Concerted efforts are required to improve this situation, and part of those efforts are gaining insights into the underlying mechanisms of disease and staying abreast with the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment regimens.

Brydak Abstract Influenza may have a complicated course in young children. The aim of the study was to analyze the suitability of influenza treatment among childrenyoungerthan5yearshospitalizedduetoaninfluenza-likeillness. Weconductedacomparisonofthetreatmentamongchildrenhospitalized intwo consecutive years: 2015, when no rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDT) were in use, and 2016, when RIDT were implemented into a routine practice in the pediatric ward. In both seasons, nasopharyngeal swabswerecollectedandexaminedwithrealtimeqRT-PCR.Inthe2015 season, influenza was diagnosed in 15/52 (28 %) children and none of them received oseltamivir, while 14/15 (93 %) patients received antibiotics.Inthe2016season,influenzawasdiagnosedin11/63(17%) children, 7/11 (64 %) of them received oseltamivir and another 7/11 (64 %) received antibiotics. In four cases antibiotics overlapped oseltamivir. These differences in the use of oseltamivir and antibiotics werestatisticallysignificant(p<0.05).Weconcludethattheimplemen- tation of RIDT improves the suitability of influenza treatment and decreases the frequency of antibiotic therapy. RIDT should be available inpediatricdepartmentstooptimizeinfluenzatreatment.
