Abstract

Influenza remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Although signs and symptoms of individual influenza cases are nonspecific, the epidemiology is characteristic, and a clinical diagnosis can be made accurately during epidemics. Several tests can be used to confirm influenza infection. Antiviral medications may be used for both treatment and prophylaxis, but prevention of influenza is most reliably achieved through vaccination.

摘要

在美国，流感仍然是发病和死亡的一个重要原因。虽然个别流感病例的体征和症状并无特异性，但流行病学具有特征性，在流感流行期间可以准确地做出临床诊断。有几种检测可用于确诊流感感染。抗病毒药物可用于治疗和预防，但预防流感最可靠的方法是接种疫苗。
