Influenza B virus, alongside its counterpart Influenza A, remains a significant public health concern worldwide, causing seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics. While Influenza A typically garners more attention due to its pandemic potential, Influenza B should not be underestimated. Understanding the natural history of Influenza B, including its epidemiology, virology, treatment options, and the emergence of resistance, is crucial for effective management and prevention strategies.
