The article presents a study which demonstrates the clinical presentation and laboratory-confirmed seasonal influenza A among pregnant women during the 2003-2004 influenza seasons. The study examines pregnant women who were diagnosed with influenza A at Parkland Memorial Hospital. Results show that clinical presentation of influenza among pregnant women is similar to that of adult, except that it is accompanied by nausea and vomiting and tachycardia disproportionate to maternal fever.
