even though the patients receive treatment. This phenomenon is believed to be due to hyper-reaction of theimmune systemto new strains of influenza virus. Such reaction results from the overproduction of inflammatory substances calledcytokines. The release of excessive amounts of these molecules causes...
Influenza B virus infections are a significant public health concern. Historically, despite the existence of two different influenza B virus lineages, only one influenza B virus component was included in influenza virus vaccines. Due to the co-circulation of the two influenza B virus lineages during...
