Numerous deaths in children aged <5 years in the developing world occur at home. Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are thought to play an important role in these deaths. Risk factors and pathogens linked to fatal episodes remain unclear. A case-control study among low-income children aged <5 years was performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to define risk factors and viral pathogens among those who died of ARI at home. A total of 278 families of children aged <5 years (of whom 104 died and 174 were healthy controls) participated in the study. A total of 87.5% of ARI-associated deaths occurred among infants aged <12 months. The estimated mortality rate due to ARI among infants was 5.02 deaths/1000 live births. Dying at home from ARI was associated with living in a crowded home (odds ratio [OR], 3.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41–9.88), having an adolescent mother (OR, 4.89; 95% CI, 1.37–17.38), lacking running water in the home (OR, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.11–17.38), incomplete vaccinations for age (OR, 3.39; 95% CI, 1.20–9.62), admission to a neonatal intensive care unit (OR, 7.17; 95% CI, 2.21–23.27), and no emergency department visit during the ARI episode (OR, 72.32; 95% CI, 4.82–1085.6). The at-home death rate due to respiratory syncytial virus infection among infants was 0.26 deaths/100 live births and that due to influenza was 0.07 deaths/1000 live births. Social vulnerabilities underlie at-home mortality due to ARI. Mortality rates due to RSV and influenza virus infection are high among infants at home and are similar to those reported for hospitalized children. Specific subgroups of children in socioeconomically vulnerable communities are at higher risk for dying at home from acute respiratory tract infection. This is the first study to provide at-home mortality rates due to respiratory syncytial virus and influenza A virus infection among infants.
