[The possible epidemic recrudescence of swine-like influenza virus type A].

An account of the effects of recent influenza epidemics is given from the medical standpoint, and also with respect to their social and economic repercussions. The part played by air travel in the carriage of such epidemics is also examined. The immunity of the population of Rome towards an A strain swine fever (A/New Jersey 8/76) is assessed in the light of personal research.

Antibodies, Viral

[Influenza. Study of recent acquisitions. Prevention and therapy].

Experience in the field of influenza (vaccination, chemical prevention, clinical pictures, treatment) during the period 1964-1974 is briefly described. The possibility that certain gastroenteric syndromes may suitably be labelled as"influenza" is examined. The usefulness of EAI antibody determination in "a posteriori" differential diagnosis of certain clinical forms, the assessment of the value of vaccination, and for mediocolegal purposes is asserted. It is suggested, in the light of personal experience, that vaccination with virus strains involved at the outset of an epidemic will only be useful where the antibody response to such strains is equal to more than 1:80. The chemical prevention of the disease is briefly examined,though the view that it is only effective in special cases is maintained.
