Influenza Pneumonia

Infections requiring hospitalization were associated with increased risk for future incident heart failure, regardless of infection and HF subtype, according to new data published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Adults who met the minimum recommended amount of weekly aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities had a 48% lower risk for influenza and pneumonia compared with those not meeting the guidelines, according to researchers.

Up to a third of women hospitalized with influenza in recent years were pregnant, according to research presented at this year’s virtual IDWeek.
