                            The National Reference Centre for Influenza (NRZ) were in the first 2013 KW at 58 samples submitted Sentinel 19 positive for influenza (positive rate 33%). In four samples, respiratory syncytial viruses are detected.
                            For the first Reporting week in 2013 have so far been 138 laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza cases in the RKI transmitted (data as of 8/1/2013).
                            The flu outbreak has reached Germany. This is indicated by the positive rate of the NRZ, the nationwide moderately elevated ARE activity and the increasing number of reports sent to the RKI influenza disease out.

                            Acute respiratory disease (ARE)
                            The activity of acute respiratory illness (ARE) is the nation in the first KW 2013 increased moderately. Even in the first KW 2013, in the 52nd KW 2012, a result of lower practice opening times and lower number of sentinel messages and the school holidays in the states only a limited assessment of the regional ARE activity is possible.

                              Week 2 (05.01. Till 01.11.2013)
                              Summary evaluation of the epidemiological situation
                              The activity of acute respiratory illness (ARE) is increased slightly nationwide.
                              While the values ​​of praxis index fell compared to the previous week, the values ​​increased incidence of consultation in all age groups.
                              The National Reference Centre for Influenza (NRZ) were on the 2nd 2013 KW at 119 submitted sentinel specimens 53 positive for influenza (positive rate 45&#37. Eleven samples were respiratory syncytial viruses are detected.
                              For the 2nd Reporting week in 2013 have so far been 298 laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza cases in the RKI transmitted (data as of 1/15/2013).
                              Influenza activity in Germany continues to rise. With the end of the school holidays in the next week to be expected to be more dynamic.

                              Acute respiratory disease (ARE)
                              The activity of acute respiratory illness (ARE) is the nation in the 2nd KW 2013 compared to declined last week and is in the range slightly increased activity (Table 1). By a modified consultation behavior and reduced to practice opening times and conditional increase in the new year
                              praxis index values ​​for the second KW 2013 can no longer be recorded, so that the values ​​now probably due only to the increased number of doctor visits for acute respiratory diseases are (Fig. 1). This is also reflected in the increasing values ​​for consultation incidence (Fig. 2).
