Spain (http://vgripe.isciii.es/gripe/inicio.do ):
In Spain, information concerning severe illness due to influenza infection and associated admission to hospitals comes from a surveillance system developed during the 2009/2010 pandemic season specifically for this purpose.
Since week 40/2010 and up to week 3/2011, there have been 777 severe hospitalised confirmed influenza cases reported.
Severely affected cases are mostly in the 15?44 and 45?64 year age groups (30% and 39%, respectively).
Of the total, 26% were reported to be without any underlying conditions.
Most of the severe cases and deaths have been associated with A(H1N1)2009 and were in people who have not previously been vaccinated.
