AB Influenza  is  an  acute  respiratory  illness  caused  by  infection  with  influenza  viruses.  The  illness  affects  the  upper  and/or  lower  respiratory  tract  and  is  often  accompanied  by  systemic  signs  and  symptoms  such  as  fever,  headache,  myalgia,  and  weakness.  Outbreaks  of  illness  of  variable  extent  and  severity  occur  nearly  every  year.  Such  outbreaks  result  in  significant  morbidity  rates  in  the  general  population  and  in  increased  mortality  rates  among  certain  high-risk  patients,  mainly  as  a  result  of  pulmonary  complications.
