of the heavenly bodies, influenza. See Influence.] (Med.)
An epidemic viral infectious disease characterized by acute
nasal catarrh, or by inflammation of the throat or the
bronchi, and usually accompanied by fever and general
weakness; also called grippe. It is caused by several forms
of RNA virus which mutate readily and thereby render vaccines
prepared against older forms ineffective, often requiring a
new form of vaccine for each new outbreak.
