The number of flu deaths in the United States fluctuates by year. Over the past decade, annual deaths ranged from around 6,000 to 52,000.
We found significant increases in the numbers of influenza-associated deaths and hospitalizations by year among persons aged ≥65 years due to the aging of the population, the predominance of A(H3N2) viruses during the late 1990s and the increasing length of the influenza season during the 1990s...

It is difficult to determine the annual global deaths due to epidemics, but WHO estimates are between 250,000 and 500,000 individuals worldwide each year (World Health Organization, 2003). The major cause of mortality is the lack of vaccine availability and its distribution throughout the ...
Influenza virus is a single-stranded negative-sense RNA virus that belongs to the family Orthomyxoviridae and infects 5–15 % of the human population annually, causing more than 500,000 worldwide deaths each year (Petrova and Russell, 2018). Influenza virus is classified into three different ser...
Influenza Viruses Are Responsible For An Average Of The Deaths Per Year Globally Influenza virus infection remains one of the largest disease burdens on humankind. Influenza-associated bacterial co-infections contribute to severe disease and mortality, during pandemic and seasonal influenza episodes. The ...
Seasonal influenza virus infection causes significant disease and economic burden globally every year. In the 2022–23 season, it was estimated there were over 30 million cases in the United States alone, and worldwide there can be between 250,000 and 500,000 deaths from influenza illness in a...

10/4/2006 - A scientific study suggests that the number of infected individuals and deaths from influenza during the first year of a pandemic could be substantially reduced by a combination of voluntary household-based quarantine and isolation of actively infected individuals in a location outside ...
Previous reports indicate that, before 2004, seasonal influenza caused about 5 million cases of serious illnesses and 500,000 deaths each year, leading to a huge burden on the global economy [1]. The virus spreads quickly and has a high mortality rate, and is also constantly evolving, thus ...
