Abstract
We present a prospective study of influenza C virus infections in hospitalized children in Spain during six years, including the influenza A (H1N1)pdm pandemia. Influenza C infections accounted for 13.3% of influenza positive cases. The patients with simple influenza C infection were clinically similar to other influenza types, but a high rate of co-infection (81%) makes it difficult to assess its clinical role.
