TI  - Searching For Influenza Virus In Upper Respiratory System Samples of Patients From Our Region
AB  - Objectives: In this study, we have planned to evaluate the frequency of Influenza virus in our region and estimate Influenza virus prevalence using Immune Fluorescent Antibody (IFA) technique. Materials and Methods: Nasopharyngeal swab samples were included in our study Simultaneously, the patients giving samples were asked if they had been vaccinated against flu in that year. The samples identified as Influenza in our study were included in subtyping research using Real Time PCR. And Influenza virus prevelance using Immune Fluorescent Antibody (IFA) technique is identified. Results: At the end of this study, 4 (2.4%) of all patients were detected with RSV 16 (9.8%) with Influenza A, and 1 (1.1%) with H5N1. 2 of the adults (2.7%) were RSV positive and 7 (9.4%) of them were Influenza A-positive. In this study Influenza B was not identified in any of the patients. There was not any significant difference between the test results of those vaccinated and not vaccinated; between children and adults, or between males and females. Conclusions: Influenza is an acute infection characterised with rapid onset of fever, fatigue, headache and myalgia. It is a disease that limits itself and the signs and symptoms fade, unless there ara any coplications. Epidemic İnfluenza that cirises at spesific periods is mostly caused by Influenza A and B subtypes. Subtype C, causing epidemies rarely is seen as a masked infection where no signs or symptoms are present, or as a mild disease in children. In the light of above introduction. Influenzae A,B Infection rates should be investigated periodically.
