Influenza is a type of infectious disease

Influenza is an infectious virus infection with a very terrifying development rate. At the same time, this virus can also help some toxins enter the body and cause unimaginable threatening damage to the human body. Therefore, the infection and spread of the flu virus has a huge impact on us, and we should enhance our understanding of this disease. So, what kind of infectious disease is influenza?

So what kind of infectious disease does influenza belong to? And what symptoms caused by influenza should we be alert to?

In fact, influenza is a type of disease belonging to the myxoviridae family. This type of disease not only has the possibility of airborne transmission, but also continuously replicates hematuria virus during the active period of the disease. We usually call this type of virus an outer membrane RNA virus, which causes the formation of cold viruses, reduces the body's ability to resist viruses, and causes unimaginable adverse effects on the human body. Therefore, the influenza virus is very scary.

Secondly, during the peak period of influenza, if you experience headaches, fever, and other obvious abnormal symptoms, you should seek medical attention first. Most symptoms of meningitis and stroke are caused by influenza viruses, and the cause of their occurrence is more than 63% more likely than other cardiac diseases. Therefore, you must pay attention to the viral protein produced by influenza to prevent it from being released in infected cells and aggravating the symptoms of influenza in the human body.

Pathogens

The pathogens of influenza are mainly patients, followed by potential infected people. The patient is a key pathogen and can be infected since the end of the critical period. The infectiousness is strongest in the first 2-3 days of the disease. After the body temperature returns to normal, it rarely carries the virus, and the detoxification time can be as long as 7 days after the onset of the disease. The virus exists in the patient's runny nose, saliva, and sputum, and is expelled from the body through coughing and sneezing. Due to partial immunity, some people do not develop the disease after infection and become latent carriers. Their detoxification time is short (so far, no long-term carriers have been registered), and the amount of toxins detoxified by the body is not large, so they are primary and secondary pathogens.

Susceptible population

Humans are susceptible to a wide range of cold viruses, regardless of age, gender, occupation, etc. The infected patient gains immunity to the antagonistic viral infection, but the immunity is short-lived, only 8 to 12 months, and no more than 2 years. There is no cross-immunity among various types and subtypes. There are many genetic variations in common cold viruses. Therefore, humans often suffer from influenza repeatedly, and it is easy to cause epidemics.
