“…Antiviral treatment can reduce the fever and illness duration and the rate of complications associated with influenza infection. Oseltamivir is recommended for severe infection and complicated influenza cases that have not been admitted to hospitals or people in the community 102 . Antivirals have a significant beneficial impact for groups at high‐risk infection or of complications: children under 4 years of age; people over 65 years of age; immunosuppressed individuals; patients with cancer, stroke, chronic conditions such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, neurologic disorders; pregnant women; women who have delivered infants (postpartum) less than 14 days ago; patients under 19 years old receiving long‐term aspirin therapy; individuals with obesity (body mass index ≥40); and residents of care homes 103 (Table 5).…”

Influenza is an acute viral respiratory infection that affects all age groups and is associated with high mortality during pandemics, epidemics, and sporadic outbreaks. Nearly 10% of the world's population is affected by influenza annually, with about half a million deaths each year. Influenza vaccination is the most effective method for preventing influenza infection and its complications. The influenza vaccine's efficacy varies each season based on the circulating influenza strains and vaccine uptake rates. Currently, three antiviral drugs targeting the influenza virus surface glycoprotein neuraminidase are available for treatment and prophylaxis of disease. Given the significant burden of influenza infection globally, this review is focused on the latest findings in the etiology, epidemiology, transmission, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of influenza.
