Abstract
Some aspects of the 1976 influenza epidemic are described and compared with findings in previous years. Rapid diagnostic techniques gave encouraging results, but were less sensitive than conventional techniques. A higher rate of virus isolation was obtained from nasopharyngeal aspirates than from pooled nose and throat swabs.Keywords
