The majority of pandemic influenza cases continue to be mild. The cumulative number of deaths
reported due to pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in the UK is 70. There was a total of 348 new patients
hospitalised with suspected pandemic influenza in week 35 (up to 8am Monday 31 August); a
decrease of 65 from the previous week. The highest hospitalisation rates have consistently been in
the under 5-year age group. Hospitalisation rates have remained fairly stable and low in recent
weeks in all age groups.
