Abstract:
The infection of influenza virus affects multiple organs and systems like the respiratory system in children, leading to severe influenza.High-risk children are particularly prone to severe influenza and even death.Influenza viruses can cause damage to the body through direct invasion and secondary immune responses.Pneumonia and influenza-associated encephalopathy are the most common severe intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary complications of influenza.Identifying high-risk groups, early management of antiviral treatment, and timely treatment of intrapulmonary and extrapulmonary complications of influenza contribute to improve the prognosis.Influenza vaccines are the most effective way of protection.
