lo bilma be fi la tolvut. cu tolvutu .i lo bilma be fi la grip. cu fluenza

You're coining two words for one concept, unless I'm missing something. Another approach would be to leave the place structure of {bilma} in place for its derived fu'ivla. Hence, {lo tolvutu} would be the sufferer & {lo te tolvutu} would be the disease.
