title: Influenza: virulence and management.
abstract: In the second of her articles on influenza, Marie Kedzierski stresses that the effects of this disease are not always transient and merely uncomfortable, but can lead to chronic and debilitating physical and mental illness. It is essential, she argues, to promote rest during the acute phase of viral illness in order to minimise the risk of future complications.
