Estimating the secondary attack rate and serial interval of influenza-like illnesses using social media.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A point-of-care rapid test (POCRT) may help early and targeted use of antiviral drugs for the management of influenza A infection. OBJECTIVE:(i) To determine whether antiviral treatment based on a POCRT for influenza A is cost-effective and, (ii) to determine the thresholds of key test parameters (sensitivi...
