A clinical diagnostic model for predicting influenza among young adult military personnel with febrile respiratory illness in Singapore.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Influenza infections present with wide-ranging clinical features. We aim to compare the differences in presentation between influenza and non-influenza cases among those with febrile respiratory illness (FRI) to determine predictors of influenza infection.<h4>M...
