Illness Associated with Child Day Care: A Study of Incidence and Cost.

Bell, David M.; And Others

American Journal of Public Health, v79 n4 p479-84 Apr 1989

Study of 843 children under 36 months of age enrolled in a prepaid health plan from September 1985 through March 1986 revealed an increased incidence of illness in children attending day care centers, but not day care homes. The number of other children in the room is the major risk factor in a child care setting. (BJV)
