The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of influenza vaccination in HIV\-infected people and to perform a control analysis of the influence of additional demographic, clinical, and laboratory factors on the effectiveness of vaccination. The work also aimed to assess the impact of influenza vaccination on the incidence of bacterial infections of the respiratorysystem. The study was conducted in a group of 47 HIV\-infected adults. The control group consisted of 31 healthy adult seronegative volunteers. The study patients and control subjects were vaccinated with inactivated trivalent influenza vaccine of the composition in accordance with WHO recommendations for the given season. The humoral response was assessed in the form of hemagglutinin antibody titers against strains AH1N1, AH3N2 and B.
