Influenza

Influenza, or Flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus.  For healthy children and adults, influenza is typically a moderately severe illness. Most people are back on their feet within a week. But for some people, including the very young, the very old, and those with asthma and other lung diseases, influenza can be dangerous and even deadly.
