This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of antiviral prophylaxis in preventing in-hospital influenza transmission. We will enroll hospitalized patients with confirmed influenza (index cases) and their uninfected roommates (room contacts). These room contacts will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three prophylactic groups: placebo, suraxavir marboxil, or oseltamivir. The primary outcome will be the rate of influenza infection among the room contacts, which will be monitored to determine the effectiveness of the interventions.

The proportion of room contacts who develop clinical influenza within 5 days, with a virus subtype consistent with that of the index case.
