The influenza A virus is a virus that mainly attacks the lungs. A sudden and sudden attack can cause respiratory distress, that is to say difficulty in breathing and thus cause the death of the patient. Complications from the flu can also occur: the patient with the flu then contracts another disease, such as pneumonia, which particularly likes to stay with someone who has the flu. The cause of death will be the same: severe respiratory distress.
While recent cases of the flu have shown that people who are already weak or sick are more prone to these respiratory distresses, doctors cannot yet explain with certainty why a person will succumb to the flu and why others may be cured by it. A few days.
