Influenza brought many trouble for the people.It should be payed much attention.
Influenza is an acute, usually self-limited febrile illness that occurs in outbreaks of varying severity almost every win-ter. The causative virus is transmitted by the respiratory mute; however, systemic symptoms are out of proportion to those in the respiratory tract. Infection with influenza virus can produce several other clinical syndromes common with in-fection with respiratory viruses, such as common colds, pharyngitis, croup, tracheobronchitis, bronchiolitis, or pneu-monia. Conversely, infections with other respiratory viruses, such as respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, or adenovirus, may produce sporadic cases indistinguishable from those of typ-ical influenza. In addition to enormous morbidity and loss of time from school and work, influenza epidemics are associated with substantial mortality caused in large part by pulmonary complications.
