Spanish flu, history of the largest global pandemic that hit the world 100 years ago

B EFORE SARS AND THE new coronavirus, Spanish flu - caused by the H1N1 virus - infected a third of the world population and killed over 50 million people in an important historical period, because it coincided with the end of the First World War.

It is remembered as the most devastating pandemic in the past 100 years.

DISEASES AND DISORDERS

The Spanish flu was the first and largest epidemic in the history of humanity: it spread around 100 years ago and decimated the population of the planet.

The cause of this infection was the notorious H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin and, today, while we fight against coronavirus, by sending messages of hope on the Net and from our balconies (rainbows with the words "everything will be fine"), we must remember that man managed to defeat this pandemic without the help of modern medicine.

W HAT IS SPANISH FLU

The Spanish flu is an infection caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin, which caused a huge pandemic between 1918 and 1920, during which it is estimated that around 500 million people were infected (a third of the world population of the time). The death toll is expected to be in the order of 50 million worldwide (although recent estimates have doubled the figure).

Mortality was high in people under the age of 5 and in the 20-40 years and over 65 years. This was the only pandemic that hit the healthy group of people between 20 and 40 years old and will probably remain in history for this too. The H1N1 virus has been isolated and analyzed, but even today scientists have not been able to explain why it has been so devastating.

Symptoms

The symptoms of Spanish flu are similar to those of any flu. It was therefore characterized by:

Temperature

Nausea

pains

Diarrhea

Pneumonia

Acute respiratory failure

severe hypoxia

The causes

The cause is the H1N1 virus, but it is not known exactly where the particular strain of the flu that caused the pandemic comes from; the 1918 flu was first observed in Europe, America and parts of Asia before spreading to all parts of the world in a few months. The three main types of influenza viruses are classified into A, B and C. Influenza A and B viruses cause so-called seasonal epidemics, while influenza C causes only mild respiratory symptoms. Influenza A virus is divided into subtypes and both A and B are divided into strains for classification. The 1918 virus is probably the ancestor of the human and porcine strains A / H1N1 and A / H3N2, and of the A / H2N2 virus, which has become extinct. In short, he was the father of all influences.

The complications

There are many complications that could develop with the Spanish flu, analyzed in recent years by the American College of Emergency Physicians, and which probably contributed to the death of many people.

Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

Chest pain or abdominal pain

Sudden dizziness

Confusion

Severe or persistent vomiting

F LU-LIKE SYMPTOMS THAT seem to improve, but then return with fever and worse cough.

Swelling in the mouth or throat
