Abstract

The Spanish Pediatric Association has asked the Evidence Based Pediatrics' Work Group the development of a technical report on the pandemic flu in children and adolescents. The objective of the report is to offer to all proffesional staff up to date information on epidemiology, diagnosis, preventive measures and treatment of this condition, as well as to settle basic recommendations on those aspects where it is possible to make them.

This report is developed according to a structured protocol following the Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) methodology. Five chapters have been stablished, each approaching a specific aspect of the condition.
