Characteristics of flu
Influenza or flu is a respiratory disease caused by a virus. There are the following groups of viruses:
-Type A: It is the most common cause of infection. It is the most serious type of flu.
- Type B: It is situated in a particular geographical area. It doesn't offers such a seriousness effect as the previous one.
- Type C: This is the least severe, with symptoms similar to colds.
It is the disease that causes the greatest proportion of sick leave either at work or at school. . It typically produces large saturations of patients in hospitals during an outbreak.
Flu and cold differences?
Flu has more acute symptoms than cold. Besides the fact that common cold may occur throughout the year, while flu tends to occur during the winter, flu is different from cold primarily because the affected individual has far more sudden high fevers that go up easily to 39, 5 º C but can reach 41 º C.
Moreover, flu distinguishes from cold because it produces a feeling of heaviness and pain throughout the body, particularly in the joints.
Headache is usually stronger in flu than in the cold. Patients typically have dry cough. Whereas a person may have multiple colds each year, however, the flu, if any, appears only once every year. We must distinguish this disease from that one called "stomach flu" that occurs when bacteria infect the digestive tract.
Flu symptoms
The main symptoms of influenza are:
High fever,, headache, muscle aches, general heaviness, dry cough, fatigue, sneezing, chills, sweating, sore throat, secretions from the nose, poor appetite, dizziness, vomiting, flushed face, etc.
Causes of flu

It can also be spread by touching a contaminated object and putting the fingers in contact with the mouth, nose or eyes.
