Özet

Influenza is a respiratory tract disease that can be seen in a variety of ways, ranging from an asymptomatic mild clinical course to severe infections resulting in death. There are approximately 1 billion influenza cases per year worldwide and 3–5 million of these are severe cases, while 290,000–650,000 cause influenza-related respiratory deaths. It can be life-threatening especially in the elderly, children, pregnant women, and individuals with underlying chronic diseases [1].
