Many viruses cause similar symptoms to those of the flu, and the complex of general symptoms of the flu can also be common in other Infectious Diseases or other non-infectious conditions. Many viral infections and flu-like illnesses cause similar symptoms to those caused by influenza viruses. These are often present in viral gastroenteritis ("stomach flu"), and the common cold, for example.

Sometimes these symptoms can come from other and non-infectious conditions, such as early pregnancy, Allergies, toxic chemical exposure, etc. The symptoms might include: headache, nausea, malaise, fatigue, cough, body aches, fever, and dizziness, to name only a few of the more common symptoms that are referred to as flu-like. See the related questions below for more complete lists of cold and flu symptoms.
