Abstract:

Influenza is a highly infectious acute respiratory disease caused by influenza virus infection. It has severe pathogenicity and high mortality. In the recent years,the study of influenza viruses has made certain progress,but in the development of drugs and vaccines for influenza viruses it is still inadequate,and the development trend of influenza virus variation situation at present can not be predicted,so this needs scientific research workers focusing on the etiology and pathogenic mechanism of influenza viruses. In this review,the etiology,epidemiology,pathogenic mechanism,influenza-associated pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome were reviewed.

Key words: Influenza virus, Epidemiology, Host immune response, Cell apoptosis, Influenza-associated pneumonia, Acute respiratory distress syndrome
