Haplotypes with uncorrected value < 0.05, which is considered significant, are only presented. All values were obtained by Fisher exact two-tailed test. INF-P: influenza patients; INF-C: influenza contacts; HF: haplotype frequency; : number of subjects; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; pC: value after Bonferroni correction.
