✦ Synopsis

During the Spring of 1986, 118 pupils aged 15-18 years were surveyed for the presence of humoral antibodies to five influenza strains. Prevalence of humoral immunity (HI) antibodies and immunity was found to be related to the year of the strain's emergence and to length of circulation time in the community. A high percentage of the adolescents were not immune to one or more of the tested strains. More than 40% of the studied group were not immune to the old A strains NPhilipines 2182 (H3N2) and AiChile 1/83 (H,N,), nearly 70% were not immune t o the t w o B strains (SiUSSR 100/83 and B/Ann Arbor 1/86), and almost the entire group (96%) was unprotected against the recent strain NSingapore 61 86. Only one pupil was immune to all five strains; 35.6%, 22.2%, 17.8%, and 9.2% were immune to one, two, three, or four of the strains, respectively; and 14.4% were not immune to even one strain.
