Influenza is a respiratory tract infection due to influenza viruses. It ranges froma mild upper respiratory tract infection to a severe lower respiratory tract infection causing death. Influenza typically begins with sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, diffuse myalgia and cough. Influenza viruses are Orthomyxo viruses of generaor types (A, B, C) and influenza D viruses that have been identified in recent years.The most common types of illness in humans are influenza A and B. Influenza maybe seen with the pandemic. The last influenza pandemic was seen in 2009 with H1N1.Influenza is spread from person to person, primarily by respiratory tract droplets created by coughing or sneezing. Influenza therapy is includes supportive care and an-tiviral treatment. Initiation of antiviral therapy early (especially within the first 48hours) in patients with complicated and severe disease, high risk group patients and hospitalized patients is very important for prognosis. The main way of protection isvaccination. The annual influenza vaccine is recommended for all age groups olderthan 6 months.

Grip, influenza virusuna bağlı bir solunum yolu enfeksiyonudur. Hafif bir üst so-lunum yolu enfeksiyonundan, ölüme neden olan ağır bir alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonuna kadar değişen klinik gösterir. Grip, tipik olarak ani başlayan ateş, titreme,baş ağrısı, yaygın kas ağrısı ve öksürük ile karakterize solunum yolu enfeksiyonudur. İnfluenza virusları, Orthomyxoviridae ailesi içerisinde yer alan influenza A, influenza B ve influenza C ve son yıllarda tanımlanan influenza D’dir. İnsanlarda ensık hastalık yapan tipler influenza A ve B’dir. İnfluenza pandemiler ile seyredebilir. En son influenza pandemisi 2009 yılında H1N1 ile görülmüştür. İnfluenza enfeksiyonu, kişiden kişiye primer olarak öksürük veya hapşırma ile solunum yolu damlacıkları yoluyla bulaşır.  İnfluenza tedavisi; destek tedavisi ve antiviral tedaviden oluşmaktadır. Komplike ve ağır hastalık varlığında, yüksek risk grubu hastalarda, hastanede yatan hastalarda erken (özellikle ilk 48 saat içinde) antiviral tedavi başlanması prognozda çok önemlidir. Esas korunma yolu aşılanmadır. Yaşı 6 aydan büyük tüm yaş gruplarına yıllık influenza aşısı önerilmektedir.
