"The influenza virus has significant impacts on individuals and society, putting a burden on the health system. This Consensus Document aims to simplify the approach to influenza virus infection and reduce its consequences on population health." (Source: Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U. on behalf of the Sociedad Espanola de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologia Clinica)
The influenza virus has accompanied humans since time immemorial, in the form of annual epidemics and occasional pandemics. It is a respiratory infection with multiple repercussions on people's lives at an individual and social level, as well as representing a significant burden on the health system. This Consensus Document arises from the collaboration of various Spanish scientific societies involved in influenza virus infection. The conclusions drawn are based on the highest quality evidence available in the scientific literature and, failing that, on the opinion of the experts convened. The Consensus Document addresses the clinical, microbiological, therapeutic, and preventive aspects (with respect to the preven-tion of transmission and in relation to vaccination) of influenza, for both adult and pediatric populations. This Consensus Document aims to help facilitate the clinical, microbiological, and preventive approach to influenza virus infection and, consequently, to reduce its important consequences on the morbidity and mortality of the population.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier Espana, S.L.U. on behalf of Sociedad Espanola de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiologi ' a Cli ' nica.
