This study was performed to monitor the circulation of various influenza virus strains since influenza is one of the commonest respiratory disease in man, its causative virus has been the subjects of extensive research. The authors investigated the epidemics of influenza in Pusan in 1998. Influenza viruses have been isolated from patients with respiratory disease whose ages range from 1 to 68. Virus isolation from female was higher than male. The isolation of virus was mostly concentrated in December in 1998. The isolated virus showed strong cytopathic effect on MDCK cells and identified as influenza A/Sydney/05/97-like(H3N2) and influenza A/Beijing/262/95-like(H1N1). A negative staining of electron micrograph showed 130 nm with H1N1 in diameter, respectively.
