Summary:
The year 2018 marks the centennial of the "Spanish" influenza pandemic, the world's deadliest event, killing at least 50 million persons worldwide. This pandemic's sudden emergence and high fatality are stark reminders of the threat influenza has posed to human health and society for more than a millennium. Unusual features of the 1918-1919 outbreak, such as the age-specific mortality pattern and unexpectedly high frequency of severe and fatal pneumonias, are still not fully understood. But the recent sequencing and reconstruction of the 1918 virus—work accomplished by NIH scientist Jeffery Taubenberger and colleagues—have yielded answers to crucial questions about the virus's origin and pathogenicity. In this Hayden-Farr Lecture at Medical Center Hour, Dr. Taubenberger summarizes key findings, considers yet-to-be answered questions about the 1918 influenza, and looks ahead to 21st century public health preparedness and the need to optimize preventive vaccines and vaccination strategies. The Hayden-Farr Lecture in Epidemiology and Virology/Medical Grand Rounds/History of the Health Sciences Lecture Co-presented with the Department of Medicine, Historical Collections in the Health Sciences Library, and Influenza! 1918-2018
