Influenza is considered an active virus. It is an RNA virus that actively replicates and spreads in the host's respiratory system, leading to illness.

Why do you sometimes get diarrhea when you have influenza?
The flu virus enters the body by attacking the cells of mucous tissue. Usually this is the tissue in the upper respiratory tract with influenza viruses. Typically the virus enters via the mouth, nose or eyes. Since the gastrointestinal system is also lined with mucous tissue, the influenza viruses can also enter cells deeper in the GI system and not just in the mouth. When this happens, the symptoms can include gastrointestinal reactions to the virus and to the cells the virus enters being killed, which gives GI symptoms like vomiting, nausea and even diarrhea along with the usual respiratory symptoms.
What human body system is targeted by influenza viruses?
The respiratory system is the first system targeted and hit in any influenza. Although stomach and GI viral infections are sometimes called "stomach flu", those are not really caused by an influenza virus, it is another kind of virus. As influenza worsens in some individuals other body systems can be severely affected secondarily, such as renal (kidneys), central nervous system (fever induced seizures), etc.
