One of the most contagious diseases is influenza. It can affect everybody, without reference to age or race. As a matter of fact, there is no other acute respiratory disease which spreads as fast and extensively as influenza in human population. In the history of influenza we can find not only epidemic occurrences, but also big malignant pandemics. Antigenic drift is caused by very small point mutations. The result of such a change is a new variant of a virus which only slightly differs from the variant circulating in population from the previous year and it is the cause of epidemic occurrences. A pandemic spread of influenza virus is caused by a change of one or both surface antigens. Such a fundamental change is characterized as an antigenic shift and it is considered a specialty of type A influenza virus.
