Some virus infections do cause those symptoms that are like the flu, such as fever, coughs and sneezes, body aches, headaches, malaise and fatigue. However, not all viruses cause these symptoms. The most common viruses to cause these symptoms are the cold and flu viruses and those viruses that cause viral gastroenteritis (also known as "stomach flu", although it is not due to influenza viruses). Viral gastroenteritis is also commonly called Norwalk flu and it is most often due to noroviruses, that are specific to the GI tract, just as influenza viruses are due to viruses that are specific to the respiratory tract.
