A simple flu can be deadly because it derived from several factors, there are complications that touch the heart and cause death. Recently raised the case of a young Valls, who died in the city of Monterrey, NL, whose cause the doctors literally gave his family explaining that the flu virus had reached his heart.

Health authorities say that it is essential to address any fever or flu and especially

In young people are given from cases of pharyngitis that may be complicated by rheumatic fever, is a bacteria called beta hemolytic streptococcus, "he said.
