ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
The Principality is among the most affected CCAA this week by the flu, with a hit rate of 179.3
MADRID OVIEDO, 11 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -
Influenza activity in Spain continues to decline for the third consecutive week and, according to data from the week of January 30 to February 5, compiled by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Ministry of Science and Innovation, the rate is affected 178.8 cases per 100,000 population, compared with 203.8 cases the previous week. Asturias, with a rate of 179.3, is among the regions hardest hit by the virus.
According to information provided by the sentinel physician networks that form the National Epidemiological Surveillance Network, the epidemic wave is in the descent phase after reached the peak of influenza activity, as reflected in a decrease in incidence rates in children under five years and in the 15 to 64.
In the last week, the community most affected remains Canary Islands, with 378.01 cases per 100,000 population, followed by Extremadura (314.1), Aragon (277.9), Castilla-La Mancha (226.2), Catalonia ( 210.9), Texas (208.9) and Asturias (179.3).
Already below the national average fall of Valencia (171.08), Basque (159.8), Navarre (152.9), Cantabria (134.3), La Rioja (123.8), Madrid (118.6), Melilla (117.1), Baleares (109.09), Ceuta (91.5) and Castilla y Le?n (65.09), while Galicia and Murcia data are not specified.
Thus, it appears as in Catalonia and Valencia lower number of cases associated with co-circulation of pandemic and seasonal influenza virus B, while in Castilla-La Mancha and Madrid there is a stable activity compared to previous weeks.
The level of influenza intensity remains high in five networks (Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, Catalonia and Extremadura), half in ten and under in Castilla y Leon Ceuta flu incidence values returning to below baseline threshold.
This week, in addition, influenza activity is widely associated with the co-circulation of pandemic and seasonal influenza virus B.
OVER A THOUSAND HOSPITALIZATIONS
Moreover, since the beginning of the 2010-2011 season have been reported 1,011 confirmed cases of influenza hospitalized severe in 15 communities, of which 89 percent were infected with H1N1 virus.
16 percent of these cases were detected in less than 15 years, while the majority (67 percent) occurred in persons between 15 and 64.
76 percent had some risk factor that was necessary to vaccination, but in such cases, up to 80 percent had not received the vaccine this season.
Moreover, at least 93 patients have died in ten communities, 85 percent with associated risk factors. In these cases, 88 percent of cases died within the groups recommended for vaccination, had not received the flu vaccine this season.
