Homeopathic treatment of patients with influenza-like illness during the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic in India.
CONCLUSIONS: In our sample, the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic in India was characterised by several prominent symptoms and symptom/medicine associations, particularly temperature >38°C + cough + runny nose, associated with Arsenicum album.
