title: Mild influenza A/H7N9 infection among children in Guangdong Province.
abstract: We describe the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of 7 children infected with A/H7N9 in Guangdong Province during the winter of 2013-2014. Our results indicate that the mild or asymptomatic characteristics common in H7N9-infected children could pose challenges to our surveillance system becoming a hidden threat to the public health of China and the world.
