The influenza virus has accompanied humans since time immemorial, in the form of annual epidemics and occasional pandemics. It is a respiratory infection with multiple repercussions on people's lives at an individual and social level, as well as representing a significant burden on the health system. This Consensus Document arises from the collaboration of various Spanish scientific societies involved in influenza virus infection. The conclusions drawn are based on the highest quality evidence available in the scientific literature and, failing that, on the opinion of the experts convened. The Consensus Document addresses the clinical, microbiological, therapeutic, and preventive aspects (with respect to the prevention of transmission and in relation to vaccination) of influenza, for both adult and pediatric populations. This Consensus Document aims to help facilitate the clinical, microbiological, and preventive approach to influenza virus infection and, consequently, to reduce its important consequences on the morbidity and mortality of the population.(AU)

Evaluación de riesgos biológicos en el Laboratorio de Microbiología de un Hospital Comarcal / No disponible

La Ley 31/95 de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales determina las garantías y responsabilidades precisas para establecer un nivel adecuado de protección de la salud de los trabajadores frente a los riesgos derivados de las condiciones de trabajo: el objetivo de este artículo es evaluar los riesgos biológicos del laboratorio de microbiología de un hospital comarcal. Para cada actividad se ha identificado el peligro y se ha estimado el riesgo de daño, según metodología del Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene (Evaluación General de Riesgos). No se han encontrado riesgos intolerables: Existe riesgo importante de exposición a micobacterías en facultativos. El resto de los peligros identificados han sido estimados como moderados, tolerables o triviales. El método general de evaluación permite conocer la situación inicial de riesgo derivado de las condiciones de trabajo y es una herramienta válida a la hora de priorizar actuaciones en materia de prevención (AU)
