When managing our patients with suspected or documented influenza infection, our doctors follow the recommendations made by the infectious disease experts at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some of these recommendations can change rather suddenly based on information provided by the CDC and the Texas Department of Health. Fortunately, most of the cases we have seen are relatively mild and have not required hospitalization. As far as antiviral treatment goes, we are following the CDC guidelines. We know that you have many other questions about H1N1 influenza and how it affects your children (i.e. school attendance, contagiousness, etc.) so we're posting some Frequently Asked Questions by our patients.
