especially from the nose, stomach, and intestine. Bleeding from the ears and petechial hemorrhages in the skin also occurred." The majority of deaths were from bacterial pneumonia, a secondary infection caused by influenza, but the virus also killed people directly, causing massive hemorrhages and ...
Almost 90 years later, in 2008, researchers announced they’d discovered what made the 1918 flu so deadly: A group of three genes enabled the virus to weaken a victim’s bronchial tubes and lungs and clear the way for bacterial pneumonia. Since 1918, there have been several other influenza ...
The Spanish flu was an unusually deadlyinfluenzapandemiccaused by theH1N1 influenza A virus. It infected 500 million people around the world, or about 27% of the then world population of between 1.8 and 1.9 billion, including people on isolatedPacificislands and in theArctic. ...

The damage to epithelial cells and subsequent loss of the ability to clear particles from the respiratory tract can lead to secondary bacterial pneumonia. This problem commonly occurs in elderly individuals or those with underlying chronic lung disease or similar problems. Influenza-induced pneumonia ...
Introduction and aim: The Spanish flu reached Sweden in June 1918, and at least one-third of the population (then 5.8 million) became infected. Some 34,500 persons (5.9 per 1,000 people) died from influenza during the first year of the pandemic (when acute pneumonia is included, the ...
pneumonia; viral flu viruses in the pulmonary system of infected persons usually replicate poorly and often result in life-threatening viral pneumonia [51]. In the pulmonary system of infected filaments and non-human primates, we record an effective replication of the 1918 virus, which contributed ...
In patients with influenza A/H1N1 pneumonia, empirical antibiotic therapy should be provided due to the possibility of bacterial coinfection. A beta-lactam plus a macrolide should be administered as soon as possible. The microbiological findings and clinical or laboratory test variables may decide with...
