18. Flu with a respiratory component
Flu is a severe viral infection that
aff ects people irrespective of gender
or age. It is an acute disease, char-
acterized by expressed symptoms:
high fever, intoxication, catarrh (rhi-
nitis, cough).
Flu epidemics occur every year,
usually during the cold season. Each
year, and 500 million people become ill with infl uenza in the
world, 2 million of whom die. When repeated periodically, in-
fl uenza and acute respiratory diseases rob us of about a year
of productive life. People spends these months in a helpless
state, suff ering from fever, general weakness, headache, and
intoxication from poisonous viral proteins. In severe cases of
fl u, there are often irreversible lesions to the cardiovascular sys-
tem, respiratory system and central nervous system that trig-
ger heart disease and vascular pneumonia.
The fl u virus is easily transmitted. The most common means
of transfer is by air. When infectious people and virus carriers
cough, sneeze or talk, particles of saliva, mucus and sputum
with pathogenic microfl ora, including infl uenza viruses, are ex-
pelled from the nasopharynx.
