Presentation transcript:

Valerie Guevara,Ivette Betancourt Influenza

The influenza is caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae

Transmitted Influenza is highly contagious and is easily transmitted through contact with droplets from the nose and throat of an infected person who is coughing and sneezing.

Symptoms Weakness, fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, fever (101 to 102 degrees), sneezing, and maybe a runny nose.

How to Treat the disease Bed rest Drink extra fluids – at least one full glass of water or juice every hour. Acetaminophen (Tylenol), or Ibuprofen can relieve head and muscle aches. Aspirin should be avoided for children

History The flu has been around for a while. In the 1700s Every 30 to 40 years an aggressive flu virus emerges, one that has changed just enough that people's natural defenses are caught completely unprepared.

PREVENT!!!! Avoid people who are sick - keep a distance from them. Stay home if you are sick. Don’t spread germs. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Wash your hands frequently and wash them well. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often carried on your hands. Get a flu shot.
