What organs is affected by the H1N1 virus?

Answer 1

Influenza is a respiratory infectious disease caused by viruses. The upper respiratory system is the body system most affected with symptoms of runny nose, watery eyes, sneezes, coughs, nasal and lung congestion, sore throat and fever. It can also affect the muscles and joints with body and joint aches. It puts the immune system to work to eliminate the viruses which, in turn, impacts the lymphatic system along with the blood components that work with the immune system to neutralize and/or kill infectious agents and remove the invading organisms from the body tissues. Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person and from virus strain to virus strain.

Answer 2

The Influenza virus binds to the epithelial cells of the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. It must be absorbed into the cells of our bodies in order to replicate itself. You can prevent some infections by frequent handwashing, but the virus is also spread by air, so being exposed to an infected person who coughs, sneezes, or uses poor hand hygiene, or to contaminated surfaces, leaves you at risk for infection. Patients are infectious at least 24 hours before they develop symptoms, so the best way to avoid becoming infected is to get the influenza vaccine early in the flu season before you are exposed.
