Terletskaia–Ladwig E et al. – While PCR is the most sensitive assay for the diagnosis of influenza, the RCA can still be used for diagnosis and surveillance of this disease. Based on the authors findings and given the known fact that influenza antibodies reach a plateau 2–4 weeks after immunization, the optimal time for vaccination in Germany is from October through November. Kindergarten and school–aged children represent an important reservoir of infection. Consequently, routine immunization should be considered for this age group to prevent the spread of influenza.
