PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the clinico-epidemiological aspects of influenza in the context of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic; the recent advances in point-of-care molecular diagnostics and co-detection of influenza and coronaviruses, and the development of new influenza therapeutics.
RECENT FINDINGS: Rates of influenza have declined globally since the 2020-2021 season; waning population immunity and uncertainty in vaccine strains could pose a risk in its significant resurgence, especially where pandemic public health interventions start being lifted. As symptoms are similar for influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, accurate, rapid diagnostics are needed to guide management. In addition to neuraminidase inhibitors, newer class of antivirals including polymerase inhibitors show promise in treating influenza infections in adults, children, and high-risk individuals.
SUMMARY: This review summarizes the most recent data on rapid molecular diagnostics, including point-of-care tests and co-detection of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. The implications to inform clinical and infection control practices, and detection of antiviral resistance are discussed. The latest clinical trial data on neuraminidase inhibitors and polymerase inhibitors, their efficacy, limitations, and resistance concerns are reviewed.
