FROM THE UIVERSITY OF CALFORNIA , LOS ANGELES , SCHOOL OF MEDIC Influenza 1968-A 2 / Hong KongI 68 MODERATOR :

DR. ST. GEME: * We wish to present the tragic confrontation between a pregnant young woman and A2/HONG KONG/68 and in so doing correlate the clinical, radiographic, pathologic and virologic aspects of this epidemic viral infection. Later, we will plumb the tale more deeply and unfold our knowledge about the influenza virion and the various facets of resistance which are important to the host in this confrontation. As a brief prologue while setting the stage for the presentation of the case, I would like to review the "Recommendations for Influenza Immulization and Control in the Civilian Population -1965-66" which was published in July of 1965 in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) of the National Communicable Disease Center. The high risk groups for influenza immunization included persons with chronic debilitating diseases of cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary, and metabolic nature, the elderly, and pregnant women. "It is to be noted that some mortality was observed among pregnant women
