During January-February, 1996, an outbreak of influenza-like illness occurred in Pune. The throat and nasal swabs collected from the patients during this outbreak were processed in MDCK and LLC-MK2 cell cultures and influenza A(H3N2) viruses were isolated. They were identified as being similar to the recent circulating global strains A/Johannesburg/33/94 and A/Wuhan/359/95.
