We examined the following household-level characteristics as potential risk factors for secondary ILI: crowding, building materials of homes, exposure to indoor air pollution, presence of handwashing materials, water source, latrine quality and sharing, education of the household respondent and household wealth status. We assessed indicators of exposure to indoor air pollution, such as frequency of index-case patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) identified at hospitals, health complexes, pharmacies, tested for influenza (N = 377) Household compound members of index-case patients recruited, baseline questionnaire given (N = 3159) Smoking in the home and use of shared latrines are associated with an increased risk of secondary influenza-like illness in households in this study. ./cache/cord-307674-4fb5xnil.txt ./txt/cord-307674-4fb5xnil.txt
