Seasonal Influenza: The
Disease
 The desease Influenza (the
flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It
can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best
way to prevent seasonal flu is by getting a seasonal flu vaccination
each year. Each year in the United States on average, 5% to 20% of the
population gets the flu; on average, more than 200,000 people are
hospitalized from flu-related complications, and; about 36,000 people die
from flu-related causes. Some people, such as older people, young children,
and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu
complications. This flu season could be worse. There is a new and very
different flu virus spreading worldwide among people called 2009 H1N1 flu.
This virus may cause more illness or more severe illness than usual. See
2009 H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) and You for more information.
