J10.1: Influenza with other respiratory manifestations, seasonal influenza virus identified
You have a viral flu.
You have been infected with influenza viruses. Influenza viruses are transmitted via the air or skin.
Typical symptoms of influenza are muscle aches, headaches and a high temperature.
In addition, your respiratory tract is inflamed. When we breathe, the air gets into the body via the respiratory tract. The respiratory tract can be divided into the upper and the lower respiratory tracts. The nose and throat form part of the upper respiratory tract. The lower respiratory tract begins at the larynx. This includes the trachea and the bronchia.
With an inflammation in the respiratory tract, you may have a sore throat. Due to the inflammation, you may have breathing difficulties.
You have been infected with specific influenza viruses. These viruses occur every year in a certain period. These viruses are in Europe from November to April.
