[h=1]Impact of HIV on the severity of influenza.[/h] Gonz?lez ?lvarez DA[SUP]1[/SUP], L?pez Cort?s LF[SUP]1[/SUP], Cordero E.

[h=3]Abstract[/h] Despite current antiretroviral therapy, HIV/AIDS is one of the most prelevant problems in healthcare worldwide. Similarly, influenza viruses are causes of epidemics outbreaks. HIV-infected patients are considered a high risk group for severe influenza infection, although several recent observational studies suggest that not all HIV-infected patients are equally susceptible to complications and that these patients should be stratified by their immunodeficiency status and other factors (such as smoking or comorbidities). Here, we have compiled the most recent data on the impact that HIV has on influenza infection.
