Influenza A/H1N1 is highly contagious and can cause an epidemic, but we often confuse it with the common flu. If not treated promptly, it can lead to many dangerous complications, even death. Let's learn how to recognize and prevent this disease!

Avian influenza is a viral infection that can infect not only birds, but also humans and other animals. H5N1 is the most common form of avian influenza, which is deadly to birds and can easily infect humans. H5N1 was first detected in humans in 1997 and has killed nearly 60 percent of people who have contracted it, according to the World Health Organization.

Influenza is a respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. However, not all influenza is the same and not all influenza viruses are caused by the same type of virus. The types of influenza that can cause seasonal epidemics today are influenza A and B viruses.
