Resumen

Los virus de la influenza A y B son de relevancia médica en Costa Rica y en el mundo. Causan infecciones respiratorias graves que se manifiestan como epidemias estacionales o interpandémicas. Estos virus están conformados por genomas inestables, lo que condiciona frecuentes variaciones antigénicas y, por ende, la población en general es muy susceptible a sus efectos. Las epidemias de influenza han sido responsables de una cantidad importante de muertes (250000 a 500000 defunciones por año) y hospitalizaciones, que afectan a todos los grupos etarios, pero principalmente a niños menores de 2 años y adultos mayores de 65........
