Exercise 4. Read and translate the text:
INFLUENZA
Influenza is an infectious respiratory disease. The causative agent is a virus. Influenza outbreaks occur suddenly and infection spreads rapidly.
There are three types of influenza viruses, identified as A, B, and C. Influenza A can infect humans, pigs, horses, and birds, but only humans are infected by types B and C.
Typical influenza symptoms include weakness, headache, dry cough, chills, and fever. Symptoms can be relieved with bed rest, steam inhalations, and pain relievers. As the fever subsides, nasal congestion and a sore throat become noticeable.
Since influenza is a viral infection, antibiotics are useless in treating it. However, antibiotics are frequently used to treat secondary infections. To be effective, doctor should begin treatment no later than two days after symptoms appear. Antivirals may be useful in treating patients who have weakened immune system or who are at risk for developing serious complications.
Influenza complications usually arise from bacterial infections of the lower respiratory tract. Signs of a secondary respiratory infection include high fever, chills, chest pain associated with breathing, and a productive cough with yellowish green sputum. If these symptoms appear, medical treatment is necessary. Other secondary infections, such as sinus or ear infections, heart and lung problems, may also require medical intervention. Influenza is a serious disease, and approximately 1 in 1,000 cases is fatal.
