Options for Reducing Morbidity and Mortality in an Influenza Pandemic
The factors driving epidemics in different parts of the world may be diverse, so observations from these European and Asian studies cannot be directly applied to understanding epidemiology in the United States.; Recent changes in epidemiology and vaccination recommendations.

Influenza surface antigens periodically change, leading to antigenic shift and drift. Influenza outbreaks occur every year, extent and severity vary with antigenic composition Influenza C infrequently associated with human disease - Ab’s against C present in serum, asymptomatic infectionFrom October 2000 to March 2004, 3,244 influenza viruses were isolated, including 1,969 influenza A and 1,275 influenza B viruses. The infections usually occurred frequently in winter in the northern hemisphere.From October 2000 to March 2004, 3,244 influenza viruses were isolated, including 1,969 A and 1,275 influenza B viruses.

Influenza and the winter increase in mortality in the United States, 1959-1999. Influenza-associated hospitalizations in the United States. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Methods: Morbidity rates were analysed by time and age. virus isolates (93 strains) were submitted to antigenic evaluation by HI test and to molecular assessment by sequencing. Influenza is commonly referred to as "the flu." It is a viral infection of the lungs. There are two main types of influenza virus, A and B.
Each type includes many different strains that tend to change each year.
