Influenza A and influenza B antibody determination in an Austrian cohort
Influenza is an infectious respiratory disease caused by influenza A and B, which is a virus characterized by a high mutation rate with new strains appearing regularly, making regular booster vaccinations necessary.In this study, we evaluated the immune status of Influenza A and B by using ELISA.

| description | Influenza is an infectious respiratory disease caused by influenza A and B, which is a virus characterized by a high mutation rate with new strains appearing regularly, making regular booster vaccinations necessary.In this study, we evaluated the immune status of Influenza A and B by using ELISA. A questionnaire was utilized to appraise the immunization anamnesis and the stance on vaccination.In total, 202 probands participated in this study. 35.6% of the probands were vaccinated, 10.9% indicated a confirmed influenza infection. 88.1% had a positive influenza A titer, whereas a positive influenza B titer was determined in only 38.6%. Additionally, a correlation between vaccination and titer could be observed.In this study, we were able to show a higher vaccination rate in our cohort than the Austrian average. Additionally, a higher percentage showed a positive influenza A titer compared to influenza B titer. |
