Large variation in influenza activity across the WHO European Region
Summary, week 2/2013
Consultation rates for influenza-like illness (ILI) and/or acute respiratory infection (ARI)
are now increasing in almost all countries in the Region. However, influenza activity is still largely limited to the
western part of the Region,
where widespread transmission is being reported by most countries currently.
While influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and type B viruses are circulating in the Region, the proportion of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 continues to increase, relative to influenza B and A(H3N2), and accounts for 84% of influenza A viruses subtyped.
The number of reported hospitalizations due to severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) is increasing slowly along with a rising proportion of patients testing positive for influenza.The EuroFlu bulletin describes and comments on influenza activity in the 53 Member States in the WHO European Region to provide information to public health specialists, clinicians and the public on the timing of the influenza season, the spread of influenza, the prevalence and characteristics of circulating viruses (type, subtype and lineage) and severity.
