‘FLU’
• True influenza
– influenza virus A or influenza virus B (or
influenza virus C infections - much milder)
• Febrile respiratory disease with
systemic symptoms caused by a variety
of other organisms often called ‘flu’

THE IMPACT OF INFLUENZA
• 1972-1994 (19 influenza seasons)
– >20,000 US deaths in 11 seasons
– >40,000 US deaths in 6 of these
– many more hospitalizations (~110,000 per
year)

THE IMPACT OF INFLUENZA
• recently some increase in morbidity and
mortality - possible factors?
– more elderly people
– CF patients live longer
– more high risk neonates
– more immunosuppressed patients

TYPES OF INTERFERON
• TYPE I
•Interferon-alpha (leukocyte interferon, about 20
related proteins)
- leukocytes, etc
•Interferon-beta (fibroblast interferon)
- fibroblasts, epithelial cells, etc
•TYPE II
•Interferon-gamma (immune interferon)
- certain activated T-cells, NK cells
20
INDUCTION OF INTERFERON
•interferon-alpha and interferon-beta
- viral infection (especially RNA viruses), double
stranded RNA, certain bacterial components
- strong anti-viral properties
•interferon-gamma
- antigens, mitogenic stimulation lymphocytes
21
INTERFERON
• induce various proteins in target cells
• many consequences, not all fully
understood

25
OTHER EFFECTS OF
INTERFERONS
• ALL TYPES
– INCREASE MHC I EXPRESSION
• CYTOTOXIC T-CELLS
– ACTIVATE NK CELLS
• CAN KILL VIRALLY INFECTED CELLS
26
OTHER EFFECTS OF
INTERFERONS
• INTERFERON-GAMMA
– INCREASES MHC II EXPRESSION ON APC
• HELPER T-CELLS
– INCREASES ANTIVIRAL POTENTIAL OF
MACROPHAGES
• INTRINSIC
• EXTRINSIC
27
THERAPEUTIC USES OF
INTERFERONS
• ANTI-VIRAL
– e.g. interferon-alpha is currently approved for certain
cases of acute and chronic HCV and chronic HBV
• MACROPHAGE ACTIVATION
– interferon-gamma has been tried for e.g. lepromatous
leprosy, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis
• ANTI-TUMOR
– have been used in e.g. melanoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma,
CML
• MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
– interferon-beta
28
Viral response to host immune
system
Viruses may :
block interferon binding
inhibit function of interferon-induced proteins
inhibit NK function
interfere with MHC I or MHC II expression
block complement activation
inhibit apoptosis
etc!

PROTECTION AGAINST
RE-INFECTION
• IgG and IgA
– IgG less efficient but lasts longer
• antibodies to both HA and NA important
– antibody to HA more important (can
neutralize)

DIAGNOSIS
• ISOLATION

43
ANTIGENIC DRIFT
• HA and NA accumulate mutations
– RNA virus
• immune response no longer protects
fully
• sporadic outbreaks, limited epidemics
44
ANTIGENIC SHIFT
• “new” HA or NA proteins
• pre-existing antibodies do not protect
• may get pandemics
45
INFLUENZA A PANDEMICS
Ryan et al., in Sherris Medical Microbiology
46
where do “new” HA and NA
come from?
• 13 types HA
• 9 types NA
– all circulate in birds
• pigs
– avian and human
47
where do “new” HA and NA
come from?
48
why do we not have influenza
B pandemics?
• so far no shifts
have been
recorded
• no animal
reservoir

each year choose which variant of each
subtype is the best to use for optimal protection
53
VACCINE
• inactivated
• egg grown
• sub-unit vaccine for children
• reassortant live vaccine approved 2003
– for healthy persons (those not at risk for
complications from influenza infection)
ages 5-49 years

RECOMMENDATIONS
Persons at High Risk for Influenza-Related Complications
· $ 65 years
· residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities
· adults/children who have chronic pulmonary or cardiovascular
disorders, including asthma
· adults/children who have required regular medical follow-up or
hospitalization during the last year because of chronic metabolic
diseases (including diabetes mellitus), renal dysfunction,
hemoglobinopathies, or immunosuppression (including
immunosuppression caused by medications)
56
RECOMMENDATIONS
Persons at High Risk for Influenza-Related Complications
· children and teenagers (6 mths to 18 yrs) receiving long-term
aspirin therapy - might be at risk for developing Reye syndrome
after influenza
· women who will be in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy
during the influenza season.
57
RECOMMENDATIONS
Persons aged 50-64 years
increased prevalence of high-risk conditions
from public health point of view, easier to target by age
than by high-risk condition (which may not have been
discovered)
58
RECOMMENDATIONS
Persons Who Can Transmit Influenza to Those at High
Risk
Persons who are clinically or subclinically infected can
transmit influenza virus to persons at high risk for
complications from influenza.
59
RECOMMENDATIONS
· physicians, nurses, and other personnel in both hospital and
outpatient-care settings
· employees of nursing homes and chronic-care facilities who
have contact with patients or residents
· employees of assisted living and other residences for persons
in high-risk groups
· persons who provide home care to persons in high-risk groups
· household members (including children) of persons in high-risk
groups.
60
RECOMMENDATIONS
Children from 0-23 mths are at increased risk for
hospitalization from influenza, vaccination is encouraged
for their household contacts and out-of-home caretakers,
particularly for contacts of children aged 0–5 months
because influenza vaccines have not been approved for
use among children aged <6 months.
61
RECOMMENDATIONS
• others, including travellers and the
general population may wish to be
vaccinated
62
