Abstract

Objective: Describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of patients with seasonal flu treated at the Tropical Diseases Department - Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital from September 2023 to September 2024. Subjects and methods: cross-sectional descriptive study, combining retrospective and prospective studies. The study subjects were 210 patients with positive rapid influenza A or B test results. Results: The average age was 39.3 ± 2.1 months, the age group 24–60 months had the highest rate (41.4%). The rate of influenza A was 92.4%, 12.1 times higher than influenza B. The most common clinical symptoms were fever (98.6%), runny nose (95.7%) and cough (94.8%). There was no statistically significant difference in clinical symptoms between influenza A and influenza B groups (p > 0.05). Regarding paraclinical: CRP <10 mg/l accounted for 60.8%; pneumonia lesions on X-ray accounted for 48.5% and no significant difference was noted between influenza A and influenza B in these indicators (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Seasonal influenza is mainly caused by influenza A virus. Common clinical manifestations are fever, runny nose and cough, with few severe signs. Paraclinical tests are mainly within normal limits.
