title: [Epidemiologic surveillance of influenza in Rome (1981-1982)].
abstract: In the period from September 1981 to April 1982, one strain of influenza virus (A-H3N2) was isolated from 121 throat cultures obtained from patients with acute febrile respiratory disease. A sero-epidemiological survey on 520 serum samples and evaluation of excess mortality from respiratory diseases did not show significant activity of influenza viruses during the period from October 1981 to October 1982.
