Influenza B, peak arriving between March and April
Seasonal influenza type A decreases but influenza type B virus cases increaseone of the main variants in circulation which ranks second in terms of incidence and represents 25% of overall cases. It is a pathology, which can lead to fever, muscle pain, cough. It affects the respiratory system with colds, sore throats and occasionally the lungs.
Dr. Staiano explained to Ansa that this flu syndrome, mainly widespread among children, will reach its peak between March and April. No alarm though. “After type A influenza, we now expect a new peak in cases in the next two months caused by type B influenza virus,” he said. It is a virus similar to type A and less contagious. Classic transmission: contact with droplets of saliva and mucus emitted during sneezing, coughing or talking closely.
