Week 51 and 52 (15.12. To 28.12.2012)
Summary evaluation of the epidemiological situation
The activity of acute respiratory illness (ARE) has increased nationwide, the values ​​of the praxis index above the background activity. Changes in the calculated indicators of disease activity of the 51st to 52nd KW can observed a year between Christmas and New Year Change in behavior consultation with a general shift in favor of acute illnesses recirculated.

For the 51st and 52 Reporting week 2012 have so far been 388 laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza cases transmitted to the RKI (data 03.01.2013).
Although the development of the ARE activity in the 52 KW due to the annual observed effects turn of the year can not be conclusively proves the increasing for three weeks
Positive rate of the NRZ and the significantly increased number of influenza transmitted diseases at the start of the flu season in Germany points.

Acute respiratory disease (ARE)
The activity of acute respiratory illness (ARE) is the nation in the 51st KW 2012 compared to declined slightly last week and in the 52nd KW increased significantly. The increase is, however, every year for
observed between Christmas and New Year altered behavior consultation with a general due to shift in favor of acute illnesses. Thus, for example dates for visits for chronic diseases rarely agreed for this period, so that the reference
