چکیده
Intervention: households were allocated to PEP (n = 138 households with 410 HHCs) or expectant treatment (n = 139 households with 402 HHCs). All index patients and HHCs developing illness in the expectant treatment group received oseltamivir treatment (adults and adolescents 75 mg capsules; and children 30–60 mg suspension twice/day) for 5 days. HHCs in the PEP group received the same dosage as for treatment but given once/day.
