Influenza is a viral zoonosis of birds and mammals that has probably existed since antiquity. Attack rates of influenza are relatively high but mortality is relatively low. Influenza mortality is highest in the very young, the very old, and the immunosuppressed. Influenza has the potential for rapid spread and may involve large populations. This article examines the swine influenza (H1N1) strain of recent origin, and compares the microbiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, differential, clinical, and laboratory diagnosis, therapy, complications, and prognosis with previous recorded outbreaks of avian and human seasonal influenza pneumonias.
流感是一种鸟类和哺乳动物的病毒性人畜共患病,可能自古就存在。流感的发病率相对较高,但死亡率相对较低。流感死亡率在非常年幼、非常年老和免疫功能低下的人群中最高。流感具有迅速传播的潜力,可能涉及大量人群。本文研究了最近起源的猪流感(H1N1)株,并将其与以前记录的禽流感和人类季节性流感肺炎的微生物学、流行病学、临床表现、鉴别诊断、临床和实验室诊断、治疗、并发症和预后进行了比较。
