Prospects For Control Are At Hand.(influenza control)
2001 MAR 7 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
by Michelle Marble, staff medical writer -- Effective control of influenza is possible in the United States if available vaccines and antiviral drugs are used as widely as they should be, researchers say.
"Influenza is a disease of antiquity that annually imposes a major burden of morbidity and mortality," said R.B. Couch and colleagues, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas. "The available inactivated vaccine is effective for preventing influenza and the serious disease and death that can accompany it. However, annual recommendations for vaccination among persons at risk have never been adequately implemented."
Currently available antiviral drugs such as amantadine and rimantadine, and the newly developed drugs zanamivir and oseltamivir are effective prophylaxis and therapy for several flu strains, the researchers added, while amantadine and rimantadine are effective against influenza A.
The availability of these four antiviral agents provide the physician with considerable flexibility for controlling influenza, Couch et al. said. If these drugs are teamed with optimal application of vaccines, the impact of influenza would be greatly reduced in our lifetime, they proposed.
