An outbreak of Influenza A, subtype H3N2 occurred in Delhi during July-August, 1993. Both urban and rural areas were affected. Attack rates in children and adults were found to be similar; the mean age of patients from whom the virus was isolated was found to be 21 years. The disease was of acute onset, mild in nature and about one week in duration. Main symptoms included fever, chills, cough, sore throat, bodyaches, backache and headache. Complications were absent. About 82 per cent of the affected house-holds had only a single case. Influenza A subtype H3N2 virus was isolated from 12 of 15 throat swabs collected from PUO cases.
