Flu is a respiratory illness. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and, sometimes, a cough and sore throat. It is caused by a virus that spreads easily from person to person. In the United States, 36,000 people die from the flu and flu-related illnesses every year. Another 200,000 people require hospital care. The flu takes its greatest toll on children younger than 5 and seniors.
