Low levels of influenza activity in Europe
Summary, week 42/2012
Influenza activity is at low levels in all countries in the WHO European Region, with only few reporting sporadic influenza detections. All of the 14 countries that have established epidemic thresholds reported consultation rates for influenza-like illness (ILI) and/or acute respiratory infection (ARI) that were below their thresholds. The number of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) cases detected through hospital surveillance was similar to that in the previous week, and none of the specimens tested was positive for influenza.
