*We regarded all consultations as though children had visited the doctor.

**The costs of antibiotics, antiviral and other medications prescribed by a GP were assumed equal and included pharmaceutical fees.

***Costs for analyzing blood, urine, respiratory and fecal material in the laboratory were assumed equal.

****We assumed that transport to a doctor would cost €0.21 per km regardless whether care or public transport was used. We set the average distance from a household to a doctor at 1.1 km.

*****Productivity losses were estimated per working days lost (1 day = 8 hours' work) using standard tariffs according to gender and age-class.
