Bacterial pneumonias during an influenza pandemic: how will we allocate antibiotics?
We are currently in the midst of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, and a second wave of flu in the fall and winter could lead to more hospitalizations for pneumonia.

متن کاملWill the announced influenza pandemic really happen?
We propose two simple probability models to compute the probability of an influenza pandemic. Under a random walk model the probability that all pandemics between times 0 and 300 occur by time 150 is 1/2. Under a Poisson model with mean interarrival time of 30 years the probability that no pandemic occurs during at least 60 years is 14%. These probabilities are much higher than generally percei...
