Since the discovery of influenza virus in 1933, many viruses have been reported as the causative agents of acute respiratory infections.

The discrepancy between clinically diagnosed influenza and virologically confirmed influenza is discussed for treatment and prevention of influenza in practice.

We report a case of TMA secondary to malignant hypertension, coexisting with post infectious glomerulonephritis.
