machine translated;
Calendar Week 3 (12.01. Till 01.18.2013)
Summary evaluation of the epidemiological situation
The activity of acute respiratory illness (ARE) is increased slightly nationwide.
While the values of Praxis index remained stable compared to last week, increased the values of the
Consultation incidence among children continues to rise, while slightly in the other age groups declined.
The National Reference Centre for Influenza (NRZ) were on the 3rd KW 2013 submitted at 173
82 sentinel specimens positive for influenza (positive rate 47%). In 15 samples, respiratory syncytial viruses are detected.
For the 3rd Reporting week in 2013 have so far been 593 laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza cases in
The RKI transmitted (data as of 1/22/2013).
Acute respiratory disease (ARE)
The activity of acute respiratory illness (ARE) is the nation in 3rd KW 2013 compared to
Previous week and remained stable in the range slightly increased activity. While the AGI large regions
South and Central (West), the background activity is only slightly exceeded, are the
Index values of the Praxis in the United AGI regions east and north (west), moderately increased (Table 1, Fig 1).

Reporting data to the Infection Protection Act (IfSG)
For the 3rd Reporting week (MW) 2013 have so far been 593 laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza cases
transmitted to the RKI: 209 cases of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09, 36 cases of influenza A (H3N2), 216 cases
differentiated from non subtypisierter influenza A, 62 cases of influenza B infection and 70 not to A or B
Influenza cases. For the 3rd MW have been a total of 91 patients hospitalized with influenza infection
transmitted, including 37 patients with non subtypisierter influenza A, 38 patients with
Influenza A (H1N1) pdm09, two patients with influenza A (H3N2), eight patients with no to A or B
differentiated influenza and six patients with influenza B infection (data as of 1/22/2013).
Since the 40th MW 2012, a total of 2,382 laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza cases in
The RKI transmitted. The distribution of cases by influenza type and MW is shown in Table 3. at 461
