What Is Type A Flu?
4. Type C Flu
Type C flu is the rarest of varieties in people. It is also sometimes found in other animals, particularly pigs. In addition to being the rarest, it is also the mildest. In many cases, the patient will show no symptoms and, when symptoms do appear, they will often be mistaken for the common cold.
Although type C flu is the mildest variety, it will have the potential to be serious in a small percentage of cases. The virus will not be responsible for pandemics, but it can be responsible for localised outbreaks. Again, vulnerable people with the flu should be monitored for signs of complications.
