Abstract:
Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, which can promote the adhesion and colonization of Streptococcus pneumoniae in respiratory epithelial cells, increasing the incidence of pneumococcal infections.Therefore, children should take early precautions against pneumococcal diseases during or before the influenza season.The progress in research on the epidemiology of influenza and the prevention of pneumococcal diseases in children was reviewed in this paper.
