説明

Influenza viruses are well known for their ability to cause sudden, pervasive infection in all age group on a global scale. In this paper we reviewed an avian influenza A （H5N1） outbreak in Hong Kong, 1996, as an emerging infectious disease, and also prevention and control influenza in Japan. Recent and historical information suggest the emergence of influenza pandemic. An avian influenza A （HsN1） outbreak was reported in Hong Kong, in which at least 18 humans infected and 6 of them died. Planning for the next pandemic is therefore a matter of concern for international and national health authorities. In Japan, outbreaks of influenza at aged people’s nursing homes in many areas were reported in the 1996－1997 season, and the Government advised practitioners and local policy－makers to immunize those people. Influenza vaccines are strongly recommended for any person aged over 6 months in developed counties who is at increased risk for complications. However, historically the main target group of influenza vaccination in Japan was school children until June 1994, and almost no elderly Japanese have ever been vaccinated. Now, the introduction on the vaccination program for elderly persons is in process.
