ABSTRACT
The first revision of the guideline 'Influenza and influenza vaccination' from the Dutch College of General Practitioners illustrates that influenza has evolved from a supposedly harmless condition to a disease against which growing numbers of patients and healthcare professionals are vaccinated. Although recent studies support its effectiveness, it is still believed that vaccination may prevent serious health problems in the vulnerable patients, notably in homes for the elderly and nursing homes. In order to streamline diagnostic triage in cases of flu-like symptoms, general practitioners must keep abreast of the actual influenza figures, but also be aware that not all patients with flu-like symptoms have influenza. Pneumonia should always be present in the differential diagnosis of influenza.
