The flu (influenza) is a contagious respiratory disease caused by flu viruses. It is spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing. It can also be spread by touching contaminated surfaces. Symptoms of flu include fever* or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headache, and tiredness. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea also can occur but are more common in children than adults.
People of all ages can get the flu. Although most people are ill with the flu for only a few days, some have a much more serious illness and may need to be hospitalized. Influenza can also lead to pneumonia and death. Influenza viruses continually change (mutate). Because the virus changes, people can get the flu no matter what their age. The process works like this: A person infected with an influenza virus develops antibodies against that virus. The virus changes. The older antibodies no longer recognize the newer virus. The person becomes infected again.
