20 Οκτ 2024 · Influenza pandemic of 1918–19, the most severe influenza outbreak of the 20th century and among the most devastating pandemics in human history. The outbreak was caused by influenza type A subtype H1N1 virus. Learn about the origins, spread, and impact of the influenza pandemic of 1918–19.
Several closely related viruses cause influenza, but one strain (type A) is linked to deadly epidemics. The 1918-19 pandemic was caused by an influenza A virus known as H1N1.
Influenza viruses, including the 1918 pandemic virus, usually cause acute self-limited respiratory infections in humans. Symptoms typically include fever, coryza (inflammation of the nasal mucosa), cough, headache, fatigue, and malaise, often persisting for 7 to 10 days, followed by complete recovery.
Most cases of illness and death due to the pandemic occurred during the second wave [3]. Deadly clusters of symptoms were recorded, including nasal hemorrhage, pneumonia, encephalitis, temperatures of up to 40°C, nephritis-like blood-streaked urine, and coma [4].
