The total number of infections observed for each participant during its individual study participation standardised per month during the first 24 months of life. An infection is an episode of illness caused by: * Acute upper respiratory tract infections * Acute lower respiratory tract infections * Otitis media * Gastroenteritis * Urinary tract infections The duration of an episode of illness is defined as the time from the appearance of the first symptom of a study relevant infection to the disappearance of the last symptom. Infections that occur concurrently or one after another within a period of 7 days are only counted separately, if they belong to different groups of illness. All rhinitides that occur in the first year of a child's life are considered for the count of the primary efficacy variable. Rhinitides that occur in the second year will only be included if they were accompanied by fever (body temperature higher than 38.4°C during at least one measure).
