Modern clinical and laboratory features of influenza in adults
Journal Title: Актуальна інфектологія - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
We examined and treated 472 patients with influenza, 72 of them had radiologically confirmed pneumonia, and 69 were hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Kyiv Municipal Clinical Hospital N 4. We analyzed clinical and laboratory pattern of flu in adults caused by influenza A virus (H1N1). Pneumonia is one of the most frequent complications of influenza, which significantly affects the prognosis. It was shown that unfavorable prognostic criteria are: late medical help (day 5–6 of the disease), the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome, increased white blood cell count and the presence of severe comorbidity.
