  Net-Charge fluctuations in a hadron gas are studied using an effective
hadronic interaction. The emphasis of this work is to investigate the
corrections of hadronic interactions to the charge fluctuations of a
non-interacting resonance gas. Several methods, such as loop, density and
virial expansions are employed. The calculations are also extended to SU(3) and
some resummation schemes are considered. Although the various corrections are
sizable individually, they cancel to a large extent. As a consequence we find
that charge fluctuations are rather well described by the free resonance gas.
