Abstract		The American and, to an extent, other recommendations for influenza prevention are summarised. Medical and economic reasons for using inactivated influenza vaccine are presented, the basic date on the vaccine are reported, and population groups with a high priority for vaccination are depicted. It must be emphasised that the vaccination of subjects at high risk for a severe influenza illness is the most important preventative measure for influenza and its complications. Some newer vaccines end other approaches to the prevention and treatment of influenza are also presented. A summary is also given on the use of amantadine hydrochloride and neuraminidase inhibitors (a new group of drugs, of which zanamivir is the principal representative).
Summary		Avtor povzema ameriška in v manjši meri tudi druga priporočila za preprečevanje gripe (influence). Z medicinskimi in ekonomskimi razlogi utemeljuje uporabo inaktiviranega cepiva proti gripi, navaja osnovne podatke o cepivu in predstavlja skupine ljudi, za katere je cepljenje še posebno smiselno. Poudarja, da je najbolj pomemben posamični ukrep za preprečevanje gripe in njenih posledic cepljenje oseb z velikim tveganjem za težko bolezen in zaplete. Opozarja tudi na nekatera novejša cepiva oziroma ukrepe za preprečevanje in zdravljenje gripe. Poroča o uporabi amantadin hidroklorida in zaviralcev nevraminidaze, to je nove skupine zdravil proti gripi, katerih glavni predstavnik je zanamivir.
