Sato et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Influenza Virus A Infection (n=22). Pneumonia development during influenza A infection vs. No pneumonia was evaluated on Mean age (p=<0.05). Among 22 patients hospitalized with influenza A, the average age of the 8 patients who developed pneumonia was significantly higher than the 14 patients without pneumonia (81.5 vs 62.4 years, p<0.05).
