Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence relating influenza and influenza-like symptoms to the risks of MI, HF and stroke. We systematically searched all MEDLINE and EMBASE entries up to August 2014 for studies of influenza vs. the cardiovascular outcomes above. ...
Influenza A Virus Influenza A virusis a global common exposure with seasonal variation. Influenza A viruses infect and replicate in cells in the respiratory epithelium. In addition to sickness symptoms, includinghypersomniaduring acute infection, cases withneurological complicationsare often report...

Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection that typically occurs during the winter months. It is caused by influenza A, B, and C viruses. There are various subtypes of influenza A viruses, wh...
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism and influenza can be very similar, so a careful clinical evaluation is required for proper patient management, possible instrumental deepening, and appropriate pharmacological interventions, especially for patients with respiratory failure. Keywords: thrombosis; stroke; influenza...
148a Most cases of influenza, in otherwise healthy individuals with typical symptoms during the course of a recognized influenza epidemic, do not need specific viral confirmation. However, diagnostic testing should be used if the results of the test will influence subsequent clinical management, such...
Since the 1970s influenza B has diverged into two lineages based on antigenicity, the Yamagata and Victoria lineages, with little or no serum cross-reactivity [4]. In contrast to the severity and epidemic potential of influenza A and B, influenza C infections induce only mild flu symptoms in...
It has shown activity against influenza A and B as well as strains resistant to neuraminidase inhibitors and is dosed in a convenient single PO weight-based dose. Oseltamivir and zanamivir are antiviral neuraminidase inhibitors that are used for chemoprophylaxis and treatment of influenza A and B ...
Depending on these factors, influenza infection may occur without symptoms, may kill, or, most frequently, may cause an acute, prostrating febrile illness attended by cough and myalgia (Fig. 7-1). Typically, the onset of the disease is rapid, and the degree of prostration and constitutional...
Although patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and RSV have similar clinical symptoms, these viruses are treated and managed differently. Unlike common cold viruses, these four infections are frequently accompanied by fever and other systemic symptoms, which can have serious ...
