After the isolation of A/New Jersey/76 (Hsw1N1) influenza virus from five soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey, case finding was initiated by obtaining specimens for viral isolation from 95 patients with acute respiratory disease and determining antibody to influenza A/Mayo Clinic/103/74 (Hsw1N1) antigen in paired sera from 74 soldiers who had been hospitalized with acute respiratory disease. Influenza A/New Jersey virus was not isolated, but serologic studies identified eight additional soldiers as A/New Jersey influenza patients. Development of heterotypic antibody to A/Mayo Clinic antigen following infection and/or immunization with influenza A (H3N2) strains was studied and was found to occur infrequently. One of the 13 identified patients had died, and postmortem findings were consistent with viral pneumonia. Four of the 12 surviving patients had radiologic evidence of pneumonia, but clinical syndromes in all 12 were similar to those described for other influenza A infections.

It is marked by inflammation of the NASAL MUCOSA; the PHARYNX; and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia.

D007252 Influenza Vaccines Vaccines used to prevent infection by viruses in the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE. It includes both killed and attenuated vaccines. The composition of the vaccines is changed each year in response to antigenic shifts and changes in prevalence of influenza virus strains. The flu vaccines may be mono- or multi-valent, which contains one or more ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS and BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS strains.

D009515 New Jersey State bounded on the north by New York and Pennsylvania, on the east by New York and the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by Delaware Bay, and on the west by Pennsylvania.
D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
