Flu is the abbreviated term for the influenza virus, which is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract. The virus affects the nose, throat, bronchial tubes, and lungs, and may also cause inflammation and pain in muscles and joints.

It is spread from person to person through airborne droplets when an infected person either coughs or sneezes. The influenza virus attacks cells in an uninfected person’s breathing passages and begins to replicate within six hours.

Diagnosing the Flu

Most people are familiar with the symptoms of the flu, but they can be mistaken for a severe cold in some cases. However, the flu infection is far more serious and can potentially cause severe health complications.

Symptoms include a fever, muscle aches, chills, headaches, coughing, congestion and extreme fatigue – although not all of these symptoms are present in every case. If your symptoms are severe, it is usually recommended that you seek medical assistance to obtain a proper diagnosis. In particular, the avian flu or bird flu cannot be diagnosed by symptoms alone, so seeking medical treatment is necessary.
