Self-Assessment Questions

    1 . During the 2009–2010 H1N1 season, how many child deaths in the United States were attributed to influenza?
    A) 15
    B) 41
    C) 117
    D) 276

    INTRODUCTION

    Rates of serious illness and death from seasonal influenza are higher among those who are 65 years of age and older with medical conditions that place them at increased risk for complications from influenza. Approximately 90% of the annual fatalities resulting from influenza occur in this age group [2,3]. However, much media attention is directed to fatalities among children. Pediatric deaths increased markedly during the 2009–2010 H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic, with 276 deaths reported [12]. During flu pandemics, the burden of disease has skewed toward younger individuals; in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, which caused illness in 60 million Americans, 90% of hospitalizations and deaths were in persons younger than 65 years of age [3].

    2 . For many years, the proposed influenza epicenter was thought to be
    A) Southeast Asia.
    B) Eastern Europe.
    C) the United States.
    D) sub-Saharan Africa.

    HISTORY

    For many years, the proposed influenza epicenter has been thought to be Southeast Asia. Farming practices there bring pigs, fowl, and people into close contact, allowing swine, avian, and human flu viruses to mix. The cycle is thought to be birds to pigs to humans. Now it is clear that this cycle can occur at any place in the world where there is the domestication of animals [14].

    3 . In humans, the type of flu that usually causes the most severe illness in humans is influenza type
    A) A.
    B) B.
    C) C.
    D) D.

    INFLUENZA VIRUS

    Influenza type A is the virus that causes moderate-to-severe illness in all age groups and is highly infectious, with an attack rate of 10% to 20%. It also causes influenza in pigs, birds, and other animals. There are several subtypes of influenza A.

    4 . Antigenic shift means
    A) there has been a change in the influenza virus, but it is minor.
    B) a new influenza virus has been imported into another country.
    C) there has been a change in the influenza virus but immunity to other viruses is likely to protect against it.
    D) there has been a major change resulting in a new subtype of influenza virus with little immunity in the human population.

    INFLUENZA VIRUS

    The genes of influenza viruses are carried on eight separate segments of RNA rather than on one long single molecule. This means that if two or more subtypes of influenza virus infect the same cell in a host, these viruses can exchange RNA segments during replication and create viruses with new gene combinations. This reassortment is termed "antigenic shift." It often occurs in pigs and is the source of influenza epidemics because the human population has little immunity to the new subtype that results.

    5 . Antigenic drift means
    A) genes of the influenza virus are drifting from the organism.
    B) there has been a change in the influenza virus but any current vaccine should protect against it.
    C) there has been a major change so that a new subtype of influenza virus is the result and humans have no immunity against this subtype.
    D) there has been a change in the influenza virus that does not result in a new subtype, but influences the choice of the particular influenza viral subtypes of the annual influenza vaccine.

    INFLUENZA VIRUS

    In comparison, "antigenic drift" refers to changes in the surface glycoproteins. This does not result in a new subtype but does influence the choice of the particular influenza viral subtypes for the annual influenza vaccine. Depending on the degree of antigenic drift, immunity developed to one virus may be adequate to protect against the related virus. In other situations, the drift has resulted in enough change that there is little protection.

    6 . The major symptoms of influenza are
    A) dyspnea, anorexia, weight loss, and cough.
    B) productive cough, fever, and chills with rigor.
    C) sudden onset of dry cough, respiratory problems, and fever.
    D) a few days of sore throat, sneezing, and rhinitis, followed by nasal congestion and coughing.

    INFLUENZA DISEASE

    As noted, before the emergence of COVID-19, it was relatively easy to diagnose influenza. This is no longer the case, as the viral infections cause similar symptoms [194]. Uncomplicated influenza (and COVID-19) is characterized by an abrupt onset of:

    • Constitutional symptoms: Fever, chills, myalgia, headache, severe and persistent malaise, eye pain, light sensitivity, and substernal burning in the chest

    • Respiratory symptoms: Nonproductive cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, and rhinitis

    7 . The incubation period of influenza in adults is usually
    A) less than 1 day.
    B) 1 to 4 days.
    C) 1 week.

    8 . Influenza is transmitted to other people by
    A) exchanging bodily fluids.
    B) contact with infected blood.
    C) droplet and airborne particles.
    D) None of the above

    INFLUENZA DISEASE

    Influenza is highly contagious, with an attack rate of 10% to 20% from the day before symptoms begin through approximately five days after onset in adults. It is spread from person to person through coughing and sneezing by the infected individual. Influenza is spread by the airborne route, which means that a person coughing in the room can transmit the virus to others in the room without close personal contact. This is in contrast to droplet transmission in which heavier particles (droplets) are transmitted to those with close contact (less than 3–6 feet, depending on the organism). Droplet transmission also probably occurs in influenza. Airborne transmission is especially significant in congregate situations like institutions, daycare facilities, airplanes, and cruise ships [19].

    9 . Rapid tests for influenza are
    A) 100% accurate.
    B) too inaccurate to be of any value.
    C) subject to false-negative and false-positive results.
    D) should only be used if a biologic weapon is suspected.

    INFLUENZA DISEASE

    Obviously, an accurate diagnosis of influenza on the basis of symptoms alone is difficult. The quickest way to decide if the patient has influenza, COVID-19, or some other disease, is to use rapid diagnostic tests for influenza and COVID-19. However, medical practitioners should be aware that false-negative and false-positive results do occur. All patients with flu-like symptoms should now be administered rapid diagnostic tests to identify influenza and/or COVID-19 infection(s) [194].

    10 . One disease that could be misdiagnosed as influenza is
    A) hepatitis.
    B) Reye syndrome.
    C) atrial fibrillation.
    D) the common cold.

    INFLUENZA-LIKE ILLNESSES

    Because both influenza and the common cold are caused by viruses that affect the respiratory tract, distinguishing between them is important. Adults rarely develop fever with a cold (coryza) but usually have a fever of 101 to 102 degrees F (38.3 to 39 degrees C) with the flu. Headaches, muscle aches, and extreme exhaustion are mild or nonexistent with a cold but are usual and severe with the flu. The prodromal signs of sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat signal that a cold is developing and may be present for one or more days before onset. These symptoms may occur with influenza but usually occur concurrently with the sudden onset rather than signaling an approaching illness. The flu develops suddenly, without warning. Like influenza, a cold may have a dry (nonproductive) cough. Some use a simple rule to distinguish between a cold, in which symptoms are from the neck up, and influenza, which is systemic (Table 1).

    12 . Which of the following influenza-type illnesses peaks in the winter?
    A) Echoviruses
    B) Mycoplasma
    C) Rhinoviruses
    D) Pneumococcal disease

    INFLUENZA-LIKE ILLNESSES

    It may be helpful to consider the time of year in which the diagnosis is being made. Generally, pneumococcal disease peaks in the winter, as does influenza and RSV. Mycoplasma and legionellosis are more common during the summer and fall. Rhinoviruses and parainfluenza virus peak during the fall and spring. Adenoviruses circulate throughout the year [21]. COVID-19 has had severe winter peaks but has been unpredictable thus far, with lesser peaks several times each year, corresponding with the emergence and spread of new variants [47]. Information on the presence of influenza and predominant strains in the community can usually be found from the surveillance system maintained by the local health department [16].

    13 . Influenza virus and acetylsalicylic acid interact to produce
    A) Reye syndrome.
    B) difficulty breathing.
    C) cardiac complications.
    D) None of the above

    COMPLICATIONS OF INFLUENZA

    An unfortunate complication of influenza in patients younger than 18 years of age is Reye syndrome. Much education for parents has focused on the danger of giving aspirin to anyone younger than 18 years of age with a fever. This education has led to a decrease in Reye syndrome. Unfortunately, acetylsalicylic acid or salicylic acid is a component in some over-the-counter preparations and may be unintentionally given to a child with a fever. Influenza virus, especially influenza A virus, and varicella (chicken pox) interact with acetylsalicylic acid to produce Reye syndrome. Symptoms are nausea and vomiting, decreased consciousness and/or convulsions caused by cerebral edema, hypoglycemia, and liver failure. Parents must be reminded to read the labels of all medications and that aspirin is listed as acetylsalicylic acid [18].

    14 . Influenza vaccine
    A) has few serious side effects.
    B) is highly effective for preventing influenza.
    C) is cost effective in preventing hospitalizations, complications, and death.
    D) All of the above

    INFLUENZA VACCINE

    Influenza vaccine is the primary preventive measure against the virus. It is efficacious in preventing influenza. Among those at higher risk, it lessens the severity of the illness, decreases complications, reduces hospitalizations, and lowers the fatality rate. It is disappointing that a vaccine with such benefits and few side effects is not used more widely. With a highly communicable disease like influenza, children are the most likely to contract and spread the infection. Nearly all children must be immune to achieve community (herd) immunity [4]. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends routine annual influenza vaccination for all persons 6 months of age and older who do not have contraindications [8]. A licensed, recommended, and age-appropriate vaccine should be used.

    15 . Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) is
    A) too dangerous because the virus is live.
    B) not available for the 2022–2023 flu season.
    C) recommended for the 2022–2023 flu season.
    D) All of the above

    INFLUENZA VACCINE

    Live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) have been in development in the United States since the 1960s [43,44]. FluMist (a LAIV trivalent formulation), manufactured by MedImmune, LLC, was originally approved in June 2003. FluMist quadrivalent LAIV contains two subtype A strains and two subtype B strains. It was approved by the FDA in February 2012 and was first available for the 2013–2014 flu season [45,46]. FluMist, which is delivered intranasally, is licensed only for healthy, nonpregnant persons 2 to 49 years of age. Live vaccines are unsuitable for healthcare workers who care for immunocompromised patients [8].

    16 . A Healthy People 2030 objective is to
    A) increase influenza vaccination levels to 100% among high-risk groups.
    B) have 50% of residents in long-term care facilities receive the vaccine.
    C) increase influenza vaccination levels among healthy adults to 70%.
    D) All of the above

    PROMOTING THE USE OF INFLUENZA VACCINE

    The Healthy People 2030 objective is to increase the proportion of persons who are vaccinated annually against seasonal influenza to at least 70% of the target population, but obviously 100% coverage is preferable [82]. To emphasize the importance of flu vaccinations, the CDC has established the National Influenza Vaccination Week. In 2022, the week is scheduled for December 5 through 9 [73]. While improvements in vaccination coverage were observed in children from the 2010–2011 season to the 2019–2020 season (from 51% to 64%), the 2020–2021 season vaccination coverage was 5% lower (59%) [184]. A significant increase has not occurred in the adult population over the same time period (from 41% to 50%) and dipped to as low as 37% during the 2017–2018 flu season. Vaccination rates are particularly low among adults 18 to 49 years of age (increasing from 31% to 38% in the past decade) [184].

    17 . The most effective way to increase the use of influenza vaccine is for
    A) people to ask their doctor for it.
    B) the patient's doctor to recommend it.
    C) people to be taught that it cannot cause the flu.
    D) posters to be displayed in emergency rooms encouraging its use.

    PROMOTING THE USE OF INFLUENZA VACCINE

    One of the major factors in increasing the number of administrations of influenza vaccine is the involvement of the medical practitioner providing care in a variety of settings, such as physicians' offices, clinics, outpatient rehabilitation programs, or any place where there is contact between medical providers and their patients. To encourage practitioner involvement, providers should be informed of the reimbursement for the vaccine and its administration by Medicare and Medicaid and should be instructed as to billing methods, especially roster billing.

    The majority of flu shots given are administrated by the person's personal healthcare provider, and studies have shown that a healthcare provider's recommendation plays a critical role in a patient's decision to get a seasonal flu vaccine [85]. As many as 75% of patients at high risk for influenza or for death from a complication of influenza have seen a healthcare provider in the last year. One of the most effective methods of encouraging a high-risk patient to receive the flu shot is a verbal recommendation from the patient's physician [85].

    18 . Standing orders are
    A) not effective.
    B) dictated when the doctor is standing up.
    C) too complicated to be used in acute hospitals.
    D) protocols developed by hospitals and long-term care facilities that cover administration of the annual flu vaccine to all high-risk patients.

    PROMOTING THE USE OF INFLUENZA VACCINE

    Implementation of standing orders in acute care hospitals is another way to help increase influenza vaccine coverage. Patients who are hospitalized as flu season approaches, or during flu season, should have their records checked for chronic illness that is impacted by influenza and for influenza vaccine status. Those who have risk factors for complications and have not received the influenza immunization should receive the flu shot before discharge, as covered by the standing order. Such standing orders would have to be developed and implemented by the medical board of the hospital. All medical personnel connected with the hospital should be made aware of the standing order and reminded by posters or other means during influenza season. A study of Medicare patients hospitalized during flu season showed that only 31.6% had received the flu vaccine before admission, 1.9% during admission, and 10.6% after admission [43].

    19 . Effective handwashing
    A) is impossible to do.
    B) always uses soap and water.
    C) means washing before eating and after going to the bathroom.
    D) involves using friction to make lather, rubbing all areas of the hands, and rinsing well.

    OTHER METHODS TO PREVENT INFLUENZA

    Good handwashing is difficult to practice, is rarely known or taught, and is one of the single most effective ways to prevent transmission of many diseases, including influenza. Everyone knows to wash their hands before eating and after using the restroom. However, few do little more than remove obvious dirt. Good handwashing involves removing the skin oils where organisms can remain even when the hands look clean. A quick pass under the water faucet and fast dry with a towel removes visible dirt, but the oils and organisms remain.

    To effectively remove the oils and organisms, the process should take at least 20 seconds (e.g., the amount of time that it takes to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"). The hands should be soaped and rubbed vigorously for 15 seconds to create a good lather and to assure that all parts of each hand are soaped and rubbed well. Then the hands should be rinsed thoroughly and dried, preferably with a paper towel. The towel should be used to turn off the water and then properly thrown away. Such handwashing removes the oils that harbor the organisms, but 20 second s can seem like a long time in the busy life of a healthcare provider. If there is no visible dirt or contamination, a waterless hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can be used between patients. However, nothing is as good as washing well with soap and water. Some mistakenly think that hot water must be used to kill the organisms. Water hot enough to kill organisms would be too hot to touch. Warm water mainly adds to comfort and hopefully encourages better washing technique. Careful attention to handwashing and cleansing may result in chapped skin, so medical professionals should find the proper lotions to care for their hands [90,91].

    20 . One way a person becomes infected with the influenza virus is by
    A) eating chicken.
    B) getting a flu shot.
    C) being around people.
    D) touching mouth, nose, or eyes with hands that have the virus on them.

    OTHER METHODS TO PREVENT INFLUENZA

    The eyes, nose, and mouth are entryways for bacteria and viruses. Everyone tends to unconsciously touch their eyes, nose, and mouth when going about their activities. Because organisms are not visible and handwashing is often less than adequate, infection occurs. Though difficult, persons trying to prevent illness should make a conscious effort to avoid touching their face [92].

    21 . Cough etiquette is
    A) universally practiced.
    B) saying "sorry" after coughing.
    C) leaving the room before you start to cough.
    D) covering a cough with tissue and properly disposing of the tissue.

    OTHER METHODS TO PREVENT INFLUENZA

    Covering a cough or sneeze is of primary importance however it is done [93]. Ideally, disposable paper tissues will be readily available during cold and flu season and used to cover the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. Patients and children should be instructed that, when this is not possible, they should cough or sneeze into their upper sleeve or elbow instead of into their hands. This will avoid contaminating the hands with an offending virus or bacteria [93]. In those instances when coughs and sneezes are covered with only the bare hands, the hands should be cleaned with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer as soon as possible to prevent transfer of the organisms to another person. Coughing, sneezing, or blowing nasal secretions into a cloth handkerchief is not recommended as this results in creating a moist, viable culture that is then carried in the pocket or purse, potentially resulting in prolonged episodes of re-infection or transfer from cross-contamination.

    aPeramivir efficacy is based on clinical trials in which the predominant influenza virus type was influenza A; a limited number of subjects infected with influenza B virus were enrolled.

    Amantadine was approved in 1966 as a treatment for uncomplicated respiratory tract illness caused by influenza. It belongs to a group of chemically related drugs called adamantanes (tricyclic amines) and is effective only against influenza A viruses. Rimantadine, approved in 1993, is also in the adamantanes group. Therefore, it is also only effective against influenza A. However, circulating influenza A (H3N2) and 2009 H1N1 viruses are resistant to adamantanes. As a result, these medications are no longer recommended for the treatment or prophylaxis of influenza A [45,103].

    AVIAN INFLUENZA

    Whenever an AI virus infects a human directly, there is much concern. Humans rarely have any immunity to AI viruses. Medical resources around the world quickly mobilize when there is a case of AI that skips reassortment in swine and directly infects a human. Fowl within a 2-mile (3-kilometer) radius of the source bird/flock are killed in order to contain the virus. An AI virus in humans usually produces upper respiratory disease and conjunctivitis. The infected humans and their contacts are watched closely for secondary transmission. For a pandemic to follow, these factors are needed:

    • Humans do not have immunity to the virus

    • Direct transmission from bird to human

    30 . Swine influenza is usually caused by which virus subtype?
    A) H1N1
    B) H1N2
    C) H3N1
    D) H3N2

    SWINE INFLUENZA

    Swine influenza is usually caused by the H1N1 subtype, but other swine influenza A viruses do occur, including H1N2, H3N1, and H3N2 [141]. Although swine flu viruses do not normally infect humans, sporadic human infections have occurred. When this occurs, these viruses are called "variant viruses" and are denoted by adding the letter "v" to the virus subtype designation. Human infections with H1N1v, H3N2v, and H1N2v viruses have been detected in the United States [141]. Pigs may become infected with more than one virus subtype simultaneously; in these cases, genes from the viruses may mix and create a new "reassortment" virus [142]. The main swine influenza viruses circulating in U.S. pigs in the past decade include triple reassortant (tr) H1N1, trH3N2, and trH1N2 [141].
