Influenza Resources
Influenza, called "the Flu" or "seasonal flu" is a respiratory virus that can be life-threatening to those living with Neuromuscular Disease (NMD), especially those with a weak and/or ineffective cough. The inability to effectively and quickly clear airway secretions (mucus) increases the risk of developing pneumonia and sometimes results in the need for hospitalization.
We compiled the following listing of educational resources to help you learn more about Influenza. Always seek the guidance of your physician when you believe you may be experiencing illness. It is strongly recommended that you consult your NMD care team when diagnosed with Influenza or any respiratory virus.
