    The resumption of surveillance week 36 to week 51 * (balance of 27/12/10) 510 influenza viruses were detected in France by the laboratory of Virology and the National Reference Centers for Influenza Viruses (CNR) from samples community (or Network Grog Smog) or hospital (Renal Network). The distribution of virus in the general population is studied from samples real- by the Network of Grog has identified 240 influenza viruses since the beginning of the surveillance. monitoring. They are divided as follows: 116 (48%) influenza viruses type A: 28% A (H1N1) , 14% A (H3N2) and 6% A not subtyped, - 122 (51%) influenza type B. 2 (1%), influenza virus type C The NRC has antigenically characterized 98 of the 510 virus since surveillance began: 20 influenza A (H1N1) v, 21 influenza A (H3N2) viruses and 57 B, all related to vaccine strains, except one B virus Yamagata lineage. Influenza A (H1N1) v are susceptible to antiviral inhibitors of neuraminidase.

    By week 51, 1225 passages ILI emergencies have been reported and 49 hospitalisations. 49 hospitalizations. The proportion of hospitalizations among the passages remains stable. hospitalizations for influenza has almost doubled compared to last week. The increase was more pronounced in the Ile de France where the number of passes and hospitalizations close to that observed at the peak in 2008 (Figure 5). Two severe cases (severity score ≥ 4) have been reported as part of this monitoring system during that week

    Since monitoring began, the network of ICUs reported 15 cases graves (Figure 6). Taking into account the network coverage, the number of severe winter is lower than that observed in week 43 at the beginning of the epidemic wave in 2009
    Among the 15 severe cases of the network, 8 were related to influenza A (H1N1), 1 influenza A (H3N2), 2 in virus B , 3 were awaiting typing and a case has not been confirmed.
    Six people had no known risk factors. One patient was vaccinated. One patient died: she had no risk factors (Table 1). In parallel with this monitoring system, 10 other serious cases were spontaneously reported (9 related to influenza A (H1N1)) including 5 deaths (4 related to influenza A (H1N1)). Of the 5 deaths, 2 were risk factor, 2 did not and the information is unknown for one patient. Related to H1N1 infection, particularly when they involve a death, seem more easily menttion reported, which makes interpretation of these data difficult

    French to English translation

    By week 52 (27 December 2010 to 02 January 2011), the incidence rate consultations for flu clinic from unified data network flu (joint data network of Grog and Sentinels) is 440 / 100 000 [95% CI: 414-466] in sharp increase from previous weeks (Figure 1).

    ....

    By week 52, the proportion of positive samples for influenza Grog is comparable than last week with an average of 2 weeks of 44% (Figure 4).

    ...

    The resumption of surveillance week 36 to week 52 * (04/01/11 balance of the CNR 31/12/10 North and South for the RSS), 795 influenza viruses were detected in France by virology laboratories and National Reference Centers for Influenza Viruses (CNR) from samples Community (Network of Grog or Smog) or hospital (Renal Network).
    The distribution of virus in the general population is studied from samples taken by the Network of Grog, which has identified 357 influenza viruses since the beginning of the monitoring. They are divided as follows:
    - 53% (n = 188) of type A influenza viruses: 32% A (H1N1) v, 12% A (H3N2), 9% A not subtyped,
    - 47% (n = 167) of type B influenza viruses,
    - 1% (n = 2) influenza virus type C
    The NRC has antigenically characterized 160 of the 795 virus since surveillance began:
    39 influenza A (H1N1) v, 35 influenza A (H3N2) viruses and 86 B, all related to vaccine strains, except one B virus Yamagata lineage. Influenza A (H1N1) v are susceptible to antiviral inhibitors of neuraminidase.

    ...

    By week 52, 1778 passages ILI emergencies have been reported and 85 hospitalizations. The proportion of hospitalizations among the passages remains stable. The number hospitalizations for influenza double every week since week 49. The increase is more pronounced in the Ile-de-France, where the number of passes and hospitalization is over that observed at the peak in 2008 (Figure 5). Eleven cases severe (severity score ≥ 4) were reported through this surveillance system during the week.

    ...

    Since monitoring began, InVS has received 72 reports of serious cases: 45 cases reported by the network and 27 spontaneously reported (Figure 6). Among the 72 severe cases, 32 are without risk factor and 7 died.

    Sentinel network data representing severe cases hospitalized in intensive care, are discussed in more detail (Table 1).
    They show that the age group 15-64 years is the most affected. The majority of cases a factor risk, stressing the importance of vaccination in these fragile populations. However, 42% of cases are without serious risk factor. The lethality is around 2%.
    The majority of cases (n = 29) was infected by a virus A (H1N1) V. Among the other confirmed cases, were found 1 virus A (H3N2), 5 influenza A not subtyped, 1 influenza B virus and 7 during typing. Only 2 cases were not confirmed virologically

      Note: I cannot find any reference to new fatalities in the document, perhaps one of our French readers can check.

      French to English translation
      By week 01 (from 2 to 9 January 2011), the incidence rate of consultations for clinical influenza from data of the unified network of influenza (data joint network of Grog and Sentinels) is 540/100000 [95% CI: 516-564] in sharp increase from the week earlier (Figure 1).
      ...

      By week 01, the proportion of positive samples for influenza Grog is comparable than last week with an average of 2 weeks from 45% (Figure 4).

      ...

      The resumption of surveillance during the week 36/2010 week 01/2011 * (balance of 11/01/11) 1349 influenza virus were detected in France by the laboratories of Virology and National Reference Centers for Influenza Viruses (CNR) from samples Community (Network of Grog or Smog) or hospital (Renal Network). The distribution of virus in the general population is studied from samples taken by the Network of Grog, which has identified 499 influenza viruses since the beginning of the monitoring. They are divided as follows:
      - 57% (n = 286) of type A influenza viruses: 33% A (H1N1) v, 11% A (H3N2), 13% A untyped,
      - 42% (n = 210) of type B influenza viruses,
      - 1% (n = 3), influenza virus type C
      Since week 52/2010, influenza A (H1N1) v has a majority in the samples.
      The NRC has antigenically characterized 190 of the 1349 virus since surveillance began : 39 influenza A (H1N1) v, 40 influenza A (H3N2) viruses and 111 B, all related to vaccine strains, except 2 B virus Yamagata lineage. Influenza A (H1N1) v are susceptible to antiviral inhibitors of neuraminidase.

      ...

      By week 01, 1540 passages ILI emergencies have been reported and 101 hospitalizations. The number of hospitalizations for influenza has increased by 16% since the week last. A decrease in the number of passes and hospitalizations was observed in ILED- France (Figure 5).

      ...
      The age group "15-64 years" is the most affected. The majority of cases (61%) had a risk factor, Recalling the importance of vaccination in these fragile populations. However, 39% Serious cases are without risk factors. The lethality is around 7%. This proportion is probably overestimated due to the change in terms of monitoring and should reduce in the coming weeks.

      Twenty-four new episodes of clustered cases in community elderly, occurring in week 51, 52/2010 and 01/2011, have been reported since the last newsletter. Total clustered cases reported since the beginning of September amounted to 47 (Figure 7). Four episodes Case groups were related to influenza viruses identified which 3 were of type A. It is important to seek
      the etiology of these outbreaks, including the use of rapid test for influenza in order to establish specific control measures.
      Precautionary measures put in place in case of an outbreak of ARI are detailed in the guide downloadable practice: respiratory infections guide
      The most severe cases (62%) was infected by a virus A (H1N1) V (Table 1).

        Severe ICU
        Because a significant proportion of severe cases admitted to intensive care units without factor
        risk, monitoring of severe cases was extended to all ICUs
        Pediatric and adult French. This comprehensive monitoring of severe ICU,
        controlled by the cells in InVS region (Wax) started in week 01/2011.
        Since monitoring began serious cases in week 50, InVS received 175 reports

                The resumption of surveillance during the week 36/2010 week 03/2011 *(balance of 25/01/11) 2921 influenza virus were detected in France by the laboratory of Virology and the National Reference Centers for Influenza Viruses (CNR) from samples Community (Network or Grog Smog) or hospital (Renal Network).
                The distribution of virus in the general population is studied from samples taken by the Network of Grog, which has identified 962 influenza viruses since monitoring began.
                They are divided as follows:
                - 57.5% (n = 554) of type A influenza viruses: 37% A (H1N1) v, 8% A (H3N2), 12% A untyped,

                Analysis of weekly sampling, the proportions of influenza A (H1N1) and B v
                now comparable.
                The NRC has antigenically characterized 364 of 2921 viruses detected since monitoring began: 133 influenza A (H1N1) v, 62 influenza A (H3N2) viruses and 169 B, all related to strains vaccine, but 4 B virus Yamagata lineage. Influenza A (H1N1) v are susceptible to antiviral drugs neuraminidase inhibitors.

This rare event has already been reported during the pandemic 2009-2010. This change could increase the ability of the virus to reach the airways low. The effectiveness of currently available vaccines are not questioned.

                The number of network hospitals OSCOUR ? participating in influenza surveillance for the season 2010-2011 is 245 establishments in France. These hospitals represent 60% of all passages in the Ile-de-France and 40% outside the Ile-de-France. Only data from the 111 departments participating in the surveillance since 2008 are used in the analysis historical data.
                By week 03, 1439 passages ILI emergencies have been reported and 91 hospitalizations. The number of passages and hospitalizations for influenza, all ages continues to decrease since week 01/2011. This decrease is still more markedIle-de-France (Figure 5). However, the number of trips and hospitalizations continues to increase in 5-14 years.

                      France bulletin 16 february : 103 deaths




                      By week 06, 1353 passages ILI emergencies have been reported and
                      90 hospitalizations. The weekly number of passages for flu, all ages
                      has decreased since last week while the number of hospitalizations increases
                      slightly. This increase affects all ages except 5-44 years. The number of passages
                      for influenza is declining both in Ile-de-France and outside the Ile-de-France (Figure 5). The results are presented for the whole of France.
                      Since monitoring began serious cases in week 50, InVS received 611 reports.( severe cases in ICU)
                      The number of serious cases admitted to the ICU reported a week of hospitalization
                      continues to decrease since week 01/2011 (Figure 6).
                      The most serious cases had been infected by a virus A (H1N1) V, and this is not immunized and present
                      a risk factor. However, 37% of serious cases have no identified risk factor.
                      The majority of cases are aged between 15 and 64.Lethality among severe cases is 14%
                      (Table 1). Moreover, in addition to the 84 deaths identified through the monitoring of severe cases, 6 deaths from flu
                      home were reported spontaneously InVS and 13 other hospital deaths reported
                      by certified mail. Information on virological confirmation or the role of
                      Influenza in the death is often unavailable.This monitoring of deaths is not exhaustive.

                      63 patients have had ECMO
                      374 SDRA or ARDS..
                      8% ( 51) were vaccinated

                            By week 07 (from 14 to 20 February 2011), the incidence rate of consultations for clinical influenza from data of the unified network of influenza (data joint network of Grog and Sentinels) is 390 / 100 000 [95% CI: 369-411] down from the previous week. The decline that began in week 03/2011 for the northern area, started in 06/2011 week for the southern zone (Figure 1).

                            The distribution of virus in the general population is studied from samples taken by the Network of Grog, which identified 1844 influenza viruses since the beginning of the monitoring. They are divided as follows:
                            - 54.5% (n = 1005) of type A influenza viruses: 38% A (H1N1) v, 6% A (H3N2), 10% A untyped,

                            Influenza A (H1N1) v are susceptible to antiviral neuraminidase inhibitors, however, two cases of influenza A (H1N1) viruses resistant to oseltamivir v (H275Y mutation) were detected in immunocompromised patients under treatment with oseltamivir.
                            In addition, six cases of D222G mutations were identified in severe cases admitted to service resuscitation. A case of D222N was also reported. These rare events have already been reported during the pandemic 2009-2010. These mutations could increase the capacity of virus to reach the lower respiratory tract. The effectiveness of currently available vaccines is not questioned.
