Abstract
Despite numerous activities, healthcare efforts and scientific advances, acute respiratory viral infections (ARVIs) and influenza remain poorly controlled diseases. This is due to the polyethyologicity of viruses, the mixed nature of infections, the lack of specific therapy, except for vaccination against the flu, virus antigenic variation, high contagiousness and development of antiviral drug resistance.
