Most people recover from uncomplicated influenza, but influenza can cause complications that result in severe illness and death. Some patients are at higher risk of experiencing these complications. In this program, physicians specializing in family medicine, internal medicine, and emergency medicine discuss their clinical experience about managing patients who develop symptoms of influenza and are at high risk of complications. They also explain recent changes to national guidelines. A patient who developed symptoms of influenza and was at high risk of complications shares his experience with testing and treatment for influenza.
