Influenza Research Paper
Influenza is a highly contagious, commonly known viral infection that attacks your respiratory system – your nose, throat, and lungs. It mostly
occurs in late fall, winter, and early spring. Influenza, frequently called the flu, affects more than 60 million individuals in the US every year.
Influenza and its complications can be deadly. The people at higher risk of developing flu complications include: Young children, adults older than
65, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, and people who have chronic illnesses.
Common symptoms usually include a high fever that begins suddenly, muscle and body aches, chills, tiredness, joint pain (usually knees), sore
throat, dry cough, a runny and or stuffy nose, are the most common...show more content...
The flu virus is spread when you either inhale infected droplets in the air that is spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes or when you
come in direct contact with an infected person's secretions by kissing, touching, and sharing objects. The flu virus can also be transmitted to your
hand by touching smooth surfaces such as doorknobs, handles, television remotes, computer keyboards, and telephones. Then, when you touch
your hands to your nose, eyes, or mouth, the flu virus gets absorbed.
Typically, if you are a generally healthy individual and you are not immune compromised, you'll need nothing more than bed rest and plenty of
fluids to treat the flu. But in some cases, your doctor in order to prevent complications may prescribe an antiviral medication, such as oseltamivir
(Tamiflu). This antiviral medication can be effective against both A and B types of influenza. It can also reduce the severity of the illness if taken
soon after you notice symptoms, usually within two days. Consuming antiviral drugs may shorten your illness by a day or so and help prevent
serious complications. This medication blocks the glycoprotein neuraminidase so that the release of new virus particles is inhibited and their
spread is hindered. There are two other antiviral medications amantadine and rimantadine that work by changing the pH which
