SUMMARY OF THE WEEK EPIDEMIOLOGICAL
The positive for influenza, other respiratory viruses and other infectious agents between
samples processed in sentinel units was 23.0% (1,806 / 7,847) for SG and 31.6%
(431 / 1,364) for SARS ICU.
...
Influenza-like illness syndrome
Until SE 28 2016 sentries units SG collected 11,468 samples - is recommended to
collection of 05 weekly samples sentinel unit. Of these, 7,847 (68.4%) were processed and 23.0%
(1,806 / 7,847) were positive for respiratory viruses, of which 1,380 (76.4%) were positive
influenza and 427 (23.6%) to other respiratory viruses (RSV, parainfluenza virus and adenovirus). Between the
samples positive for influenza 1.806 (78.8%) had influenza A (H1N1) pdm09, 135 (9.8%) influenza A
not subtyped, 134 (9.7%) and 22 influenza B (1.6%) influenza A (H3N2). Among other respiratory viruses
there was a predominance of movement 235 (55.0%) of RSV (Figure 1).
The Southeast and South regions have the highest amounts of positive samples, especially
for influenza circulating A (H1N1) and influenza B pdm09 in the Southeast, and influenza A (H1N1) and pdm09
parainfluenza in the south. In the North there is the circulation of RSV virus. In the Northeast and
Midwest predominant influenza circulating A (H1N1) pdm09 (Annex 1 - B).
As for the distribution of the virus by age group, among individuals from 10 years predominated
circulation of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09. Among individuals younger than 10 years was higher
circulating influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 and RSV.

Influenza-like illness syndrome
Until SE 29 2016 sentries units SG collected 11,966 samples - is recommended to
collection of 05 weekly samples sentinel unit. Of these, 8369 (69.9%) were processed and 23.0%
(1,927 / 8,369) were positive for respiratory viruses, of which 1,437 (74.6%) were positive
influenza and 491 (25.5%) to other respiratory viruses (RSV, parainfluenza virus and adenovirus). Between the
samples positive for influenza 1.137 (79.1%) had influenza A (H1N1) pdm09, 140 (9.7%) influenza B,
137 (9.5%) influenza A non-subtyped and 22 (1.5%) influenza A (H3N2). Among other respiratory viruses
predominated circulation 286 (58.2%) of RSV (Figure 1).
