already the most common form of disease affecting the heart and an important cause of premature death in Europe, the Baltic states, Russia, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. It has been predicted that all regions of the world will be affected by 2020.

• Glandular fever Glandular fever, or infectious mononucleosis, is sometimes called the ‘kissing disease’, because it spreads by close contact and is most common in teenagers and young adults. Swollen glands are a common feature of the infection. Glands in the front and side of the neck and behind the ears are often enlarged and tender. Glands in the armpit and groin might also be affected.

• Influenza Influenza, often referred to as 'the flu', is a respiratory infection caused by a distinct group of viruses, the influenza viruses. Infections with influenza are usually more severe than those with other respiratory viruses and involve a combination of respiratory (cough, sore throat) and constitutional (fever, headache, muscle aches) symptoms. In older adults and people with a range of pre-existing medical conditions, influenza infections can lead to serious and even life threatening complications. A notable feature of influenza is that repeated infections can occur throughout life.

CAUSESThe flu virus is contained in

the millions of tiny droplets that come out of the nose and mouth when someone coughs or sneezes.

These droplets typically spread about one metre (3ft). They hang suspended in

the air for a while but then land on surfaces, where the virus can survive for up to 24 hours.

Anyone who touches these surfaces can spread the virus by touching anything else.

Everyday items at home and in public places may have traces of the virus. These include food, door handles, the remote control, handrails and computer keyboards.

People usually become infected by picking up the virus on their hands from contaminated objects and then placing their hands near their mouth or nose. It is also possible to breathe in the virus if it is suspended in airborne droplets.

PREVENTIONSPeople who contract influenza are most infective between the second

and third days after infection, and infectivity lasts for around ten days.[1] Children are much more infectious than adults and shed virus

from just before they develop symptoms until two weeks after infection.[1][2] The transmission of influenza can be modelled mathematically,

which helps predict how the virus will spread in a population.[3]Influenza can be spread in three main ways:[4][5]
