The aim of the study was to characterise and compare leukocyte populations in preterm infants with and without LOS during the first month of life.
Obesity can increase the severity of influenza infection. Data are limited regarding immune responses to influenza vaccination in obese children. We aimed to investigate the impact of obesity on quadrivalent influenza vaccine responses in children.
