WEEK 2010-48 (29 NOVEMBER - 5 DECEMBER)
Flu season begins with the winter season: the northern temperate zone starts from the 49th week (week which includes the first four days of December) and ends the 13th week of 2011. Traditional flu watch over a wider period, which included both pre-season (weeks 40-48) and as post-season (weeks 14-20). The 2009-2010 season has passed and Romania to continue surveillance of influenza, according to experts from WHO and EU recommendations.
In pre-season period (range 40-48 weeks) has not reported the presence of influenza virus in Romania. The incidence of consultations by family doctors Sentinel has been below the expected level for both acute respiratory infections (ARI) as well as flu-like illness (ILI). There were no reported outbreaks due to acute respiratory infections.
At week 49 were noted the presence of influenza virus in Romania. The incidence of consultations by family doctors Sentinel has been below the expected level for both acute respiratory infections (ARI) as well as flu-like illness (ILI).
Analysis of ARI incidence in sentinel counties reported an increase above expected levels in the counties of Bacau, Hunedoara and Bucharest, without being accompanied by an increase in ILI.
The incidence of severe acute infection (SARI) reported by sentinel units with beds revealed no movement of influenza viruses and no increased incidence of severe acute respiratory illnesses, deaths are not recorded.
In contrast, the United Kingdom (England and Scotland), Belgium, Italy, Norway, Portugal and Finland have experienced influenza virus, predominantly type A (60%) and B (40%). In Britain there have been small outbreaks in communities, deaths in patients requiring hospitalization over 65 years.

WEEK 2010-49 (6-12 December)
At week 49 were noted the presence of influenza virus in Romania. The incidence of consultations by family doctors Sentinel has been below the expected level for acute respiratory infections (ARI). Flu-like illness (ILI) have an increased incidence of number of visits by 20% compared to last week, without evidence of influenza virus circulation. 0-4 years age group was most affected.
Analysis of ARI incidence in sentinel counties reported an increase above expected levels in the counties of Bacau, Timis and Bucharest.
The incidence of severe acute infection (SARI) reported by sentinel units with beds was up from the previous week, but the circulation of influenza viruses has not been demonstrated. SARI first death was recorded without being caused by influenza viruses, paragripale, coronaviruses, RSV or hMPV (broncho-pneumonia in a woman of 79 years with chronic cardio-pulmonary disease and diabetes mellitus).
Until 12/12/2010 966 were made. 259 flu vaccinations, of which 480,766 (49.7%) in the age group over 65 years.
2010/2011 influenza season in Europe started with sporadic cases in the west and north, and in England there were small outbreaks in communities, where patients aged over 65 years and pregnant women required hospitalization, recorded the five deaths.
At week 49 in England is the intensity of influenza activity and the average level in 24 European countries this is at the bottom. It should be noted that in 14 countries (out of 25 who reported at week 49), influenza activity is a growing trend.
At week 49 influenza virus circulation was reported by 24 European countries, mainly as type A in 67% of cases, mostly A (H1N1) in 2009 and a very small number of A (H3) and type B was reported in 33 %.
2010-50 WEEK (December 13-19)
At week 50 were noted the presence of influenza virus in Romania. The incidence of consultations by family doctors Sentinel has been below the expected level for acute respiratory infections (ARI). Flu-like illness (ILI) have an increased incidence of number of visits by 20% compared to last week. 0-4 years age group was most affected.
Analysis of ARI incidence in sentinel counties reported an increase above expected levels in the counties of Bacau, Timis and Bucharest.
The incidence of severe acute infection (SARI) reported by sentinel units with beds revealed no movement of influenza viruses and no increased incidence of severe acute respiratory illnesses, deaths are not recorded.
Until December 19, influenza vaccinations were carried 1,012,486, of which 49.8% of persons in the age group over 65 years.
2010/2011 influenza season in Europe started with severe cases associated with influenza virus A (H1N1) in 2009. Most were reported in England in the last two weeks. Circulation of influenza viruses was reported by 11 European countries, the dominant being the type A H1N1 in 2009 and sporadic type B.
In the United Kingdom (England and Scotland), Belgium, Italy, Norway, Portugal and Finland there has been movement of influenza viruses type A predominates (60%) and B (40%). In Britain there have been small outbreaks in communities, requiring hospitalization, and five deaths in patients aged over 65 years.
Romanian to English translation
At week 51 of surveillance of clinical illness compatible with influenza in 2010 (ILI) increased by 39.5% over the previous week, the highest growth was registered in Arges County. No influenza viruses were isolated from clinical cases compatible with influenza (ILI). Acute respiratory infections (ARI) decreased by 12.6% compared to 50 weeks. ARI incidence in the country is below the expected level (all counties except Hunedoara county and Bucharest). 0-4 years age group was most affected. Severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) were hospitalized in Iasi, Mures and Bucharest
Romanian to English translation
At week 52 of surveillance of clinical illness compatible with influenza in 2010 (ILI) had an expected loss (due to holidays) of 11.7% compared to last week. A similar decrease was 18.7% and the incidence of acute respiratory illnesses (ARI). The incidence of severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) in week 52 was similar to that in weeks 50 and 51. In weeks 40-52 were registered in all 79 cases with four deaths SARI pre-existing disease decompensated.
In pre-season to isolate an influenza virus type A (SARI) and the season for the first time now in week 52, two viruses were isolated influenza type B and type A influenza virus (ILI). Disease surveillance system indicates the existence of influenza virus type A and B, without recording a level to demonstrate the use of a predominant type of influenza virus and that the level of flu activity nationwide.
In Europe, the week 52/2010, the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) 15 of 25 countries have reported increasing trends in influenza activity. Samples were positive for influenza 46% this week, indicating an increase in the intensity of influenza activity. Predominant type A (73%) to B (23%). From week 40 to date have reported 613 cases with 12 deaths SARI.
