Purpose:

  • To report on the epidemiological situation of influenza in Poland in 1998.
  • To detail the characteristics of isolated influenza virus variants.

Summary:

  • Poland registered 825,345 influenza cases in 1998, a 47.7% decrease from 1997, with a cumulative incidence of 2134.5/100,000.
