Etiology and basics of laboratory diagnosis of influenza
Despite the fact that influenza as an epidemic disease has been known for centuries, scientifically substantiated data on its causative agent date back to 1931-1933 and are associated with the success of a young discipline - virology. Only the studies of bacteriologists of the end of the last century, who tried to discover the agent of influenza by bacteriological methods, are of historical interest. Thus, in 1889, Afanasyev, and in 1892, Pfeiffer found in sputum of patients small, motionless Gram-negative bacilli hardly cultivated on nutrient media. These bacilli, called Influenza bacilli, were described by them as the causative agent of influenza.
