    Abstract:
    The report presents the peculiar characteristics of influenza epidemics in a big urban centre (B.) of Romania, between 1988 and 1990, surveyed by clinical, epidemiological and laboratory methods. Among the peculiarities of the epidemics: the low rate of endemic morbidity, the seasonal and preseasonal peaks, the very high implication of infantile population in influenza A(H3N2), A(H1N1) and B virus circulation, as well as the high level of mass specific humoral protection against these viruses. Elements of epidemiologic prognosis are suggested for 1991. Opportunity of vaccine prophylaxis using WHO recommended virus strains of the three types: A(H3N2), A(H1N1) and B, for risk groups is discussed.
