EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) is offering the latest evidence-based flu-related information available for free.

Ebsco Publishing  presents: Influenza Evidence-Based Information Portal

Due to the global outbreak of Pandemic H1N1 Influenza (formerly known as Swine Flu) and concerns about the 2009/2010 flu season, Ebsco publishing has made pertinent influenza information from their resources freely available  to the healthcare community worldwide.  Each publication is reviewed cover-to-cover, and each article is evaluated for clinical relevance and scientific validity. New evidence is integrated with existing content and overall conclusions are changed as appropriate representing a synthesis of the best available evidence and ensuring that the healthcare community stays current with recommendations for monitoring, diagnosing, and treating patients with flu-like illness.
