| Question | Answer |
| Difference between influenza strains | The influenza A can be seen in humans, birds and mammals with new strains (drift) and new subtypes (shift) causing epidemics and pandemics. The type b is in humans only, can crate new strains and causes epidemics but can’t create pandemics because can create new subtypes. |
| Influenza diagnosis | If primary clinical, nasopharyngeal swabs for RT-PCR is the gold standard, other is the rapid antigen detection (direct fluorescent antigen) |
| Influenza treatment | Neuraminidase inhibitors: oseltamivir (tamiflu) or zanamivir (relenza) for treatment ant prophylaxis |
