What is influenza?

Flu, as it is more commonly known, is a highly contagious infection caused by a virus. It affects the respiratory system and can be very serious especially if your are young or elderly. In some cases it can develop into more serious respiratory infections such as pneumonia.

Symptoms

Headache, fever, weakness, loss of appetite, sore throat, aches and pains in limbs and joints.

Causes

It is passed from one person to the other due to the highly contagious nature of the virus. This is a virus that throws up many strains so having flu one year does not immediately cause you to be immune the following year.
