Spanish flu09/17/2001 |
I read somewhere that a person who had the Spanish Flu as a child in 1918 if he survived was very susceptible to some problem as an older adult. What could that problem be? I do not remember - but my husband survived the Spanish flu as an infant (age 1 1/2 yrs.)
There are immediate problems related to the 1918 flu. There should not be long term problems that would appear decades later.
