1892年1月，英国社会改革家和妇女权利活动家约瑟芬·巴特勒（Josephine Butler）写信给她的儿子斯坦利（Stanley），抱怨自己感到疲劳，精神普遍衰退。巴特勒认为，她的症状是由于去年圣诞节感染了“俄罗斯流感”，导致她患上了疼痛的结膜炎和肺部发炎。“我想我从来没有这么虚弱过，即使是在热那亚的疟疾热之后，”她坦白道。3个月后几乎没有改善。巴特勒告诉一位朋友说：“我很虚弱，如果我读或写半个小时，我就会感到疲惫和头晕，不得不躺下。”巴特勒是记录1889 - 92年大流行（俗称俄罗斯流感，因为1889年11月在圣彼得堡爆发）后流感后遗症的最著名女性患者之一。然而，在英国，最著名和最广泛报道的流感致残者是男性，包括当时的英国首相兼外交大臣索尔兹伯里勋爵，他的侄子、爱尔兰国务大臣阿尔弗雷德·巴尔弗，以及英国海军大臣乔治·汉密尔顿勋爵。1895年2月，自由党领袖兼首相罗斯伯里勋爵（Lord Rosebery）也感染了俄罗斯流感，由于疲劳和失眠，他在萨里郡埃普索姆的家中呆了6个星期，维多利亚时代的报纸和期刊对此进行了激烈的评论。
In January, 1892, the English social reformer and women's rights campaigner Josephine Butler wrote to her son, Stanley, to complain of fatigue and a general declension of the spirits. Butler attributed her symptoms to an attack of “Russian influenza” the previous Christmas, which had left her with painful conjunctivitis and inflamed lungs.“I don't think I ever remember being so weak, not even after the malaria fever at Genoa”, she confessed. 3 months later there was little improvement.“I am so weak that if I read or write for half an hour I become so tired and faint that I have to lie down,” Butler informed a friend.Butler was one of the most prominent female sufferers to document the lingering after-effects of influenza following the pandemic of 1889–92—colloquially called the Russian influenza because the epidemic had broken out in St Petersburg in November, 1889. However, the best known and most widely reported influenza invalids in the UK were male and included the then British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Lord Salisbury, his nephew Alfred Balfour, the Secretary of State for Ireland, and Lord George Hamilton, the First Lord of the Admiralty. In February, 1895, the Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister, Lord Rosebery, also had Russian influenza and was confined to his home in Epsom, Surrey, for 6 weeks, with fatigue and insomnia, prompting intense commentary in Victorian newspapers and periodicals.
