English-Chinese/Influenza

Influenza, better known as the flu and sometimes called the grippe, is a common childhood illness, but is not as common among adults. It is not limited to humans, most mammals and many birds can also catch influenza. It is caused by several different viruses (such as RNA virus), which is why people can have the flu more than once. The name influenza comes from Italian: influenza, meaning "influence".
