FRAGMENTO

La influenza contribuye sustancialmente a pérdidas económicas, exceso en el número de hospitalizaciones y muertes durante pandemias y epidemias. La primera pandemia que coincide con las características de la influenza se registró en 1580. Posteriormente, cuatro pandemias afectaron a la humanidad en el siglo XIX y tres en el siglo XX. La pandemia de influenza española, entre 1918 y 1919 causó 21 millones de muertes, el doble que las ocurridas en los campos de batalla durante la Primera Guerra Mundial.
