This open-label, randomized, adaptive, 2-arm, multicenter study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) in immunocompromised children, less than (\<) 13 years of age, with confirmed influenza infection. Participants will be randomized to receive either the standard dose or triple dose of oseltamivir orally daily for a minimum of 5 days and up to 20 days. Infants \<1 year of age will be randomized to the standard dose arm only.

Participants will receive standard dose (30 to 75 milligrams \[mg\]) or triple standard dose (90 to 225 mg) of oseltamivir orally daily for up to maximum of 20 days. Standard dose of oseltamivir according to weight (except infants): 30 mg twice daily for \</= 15 kilograms (kg) body weight participants; 45 mg twice daily for 15 to 23 kg body weight participants; 60 mg twice daily for 23 to 40 kg body weight participants; and 75 mg twice daily for greater than (\>) 40 kg body weight participants. Standard dose for infants is 3 mg/kg.
