Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza A, B, and C viruses. It is characterized by seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics, leading to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The disease affects millions annually, with severe cases resulting in hospitalizations and deaths, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Treatment and Antiviral Resistance:
Pathogenesis and Host Factors:
Influenza remains a significant global health challenge due to its high transmissibility, potential for severe complications, and the continuous evolution of the virus. Annual vaccination is essential for prevention, though its efficacy can be compromised by viral mutations. Antiviral treatments are available but face limitations due to resistance. Ongoing research into universal vaccines and novel therapies holds promise for better management and control of influenza in the future.
