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

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
