Summary: | Over the last years much research has been carried out, especially after the influenza pandemic in 2009. It is known that many strains of influenza virus are widely spread in the global population causing seasonal outbreaks every year. Influenza leads to flu-like symptoms, which present favorable prognosis, since most patients completely recover from it within two to five days. Many new antiviral drugs have been developed in the last few years, but since the infection generally presents a mild course, symptom-based care is often enough. Influenza virus can undergo mutations through some mechanisms, like antigenic drift and antigenic shift. Alongside with its high infectivity such mechanisms probably have worked together to keep influenza infection viable through the years, despite all new drugs and preventive measures. This review aimed to bring the most relevant data about influenza obtained in the past years, including some historical aspects, pathophysiology, clinical findings, and diagnostic and therapeutic approach. |

Se sabe que muchas cepas del virus de la Influenza están ampliamente diseminadas en la población mundial provocando brotes estacionales cada año. La Influenza provoca síntomas similares a los de la gripe, que presentan un pronóstico favorable, ya que la mayoría de los pacientes se recuperan completamente de la misma en un plazo de dos a cinco días. En los últimos años se han desarrollado muchos medicamentos antivirales nuevos, pero dado que la infección generalmente presenta un curso leve, la atención basada en los síntomas suele ser suficiente. El virus de la Influenza puede sufrir mutaciones a través de algunos mecanismos, como la deriva antigénica y el cambio antigénico. Junto con su alta infectividad, estos mecanismos probablemente han trabajado juntos para mantener viable la infección por influenza a lo largo de los años, a pesar de todos los nuevos medicamentos y medidas preventivas. Esta revisión buscó reunir los datos más relevantes sobre la influenza obtenidos en los últimos años, incluidos algunos aspectos históricos, fisiopatología, hallazgos clínicos y abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico.Nos últimos anos, muitas pesquisas foram realizadas, especialmente após a pandemia de Influenza em 2009.
