In 3 cases were detected two biological agents.

                A case of acute severe respiratory infection (SARI-Sentinel), Young admitted with bronchopneumonia and obesity, died 06/11/2012 septic shock and multi-organ failure and systems. In laboratory samples collected from sentinel SARI system it was identified coronavirus 229 E. Second death, non-sentinel SARI, occurred Jan. 9. 2013 to a woman 55 years of Bistrita Nasaud with bilateral pneumonia and acute respiratory failure caused by influenza A (H3N2) pdm09, the background of obesity, asthma and hypertension. With 26 days before onset was the flu shot.
                On 23 cases of secondary bacterial pneumonia was mentioned as a complication of viral cause salt.
                Given the evolution of influenza and acute respiratory infections and flu season beginning in January is expected for the next two months increased circulation of influenza viruses and the number of patients that require home care or hospitalization.
                Note that until 13.01.2013 flu were vaccinated 596,191 people according to census persons in risk groups. Ministry of Health has purchased one million doses of influenza vaccine, and from this amount were used to vaccinate 60% of the dose.

                    Mild influenza activity evolves in local outbreaks (counties Constanta County, Iasi) and as sporadic cases in other counties, the incidence of acute respiratory infections was higher than the previous week, but complying with the expected range.
                    Evolving flu cases in both media formats and severe, mostly unprotected persons with influenza vaccine.
                    S 05 samples tested were positive week for flu in 26 cases.
                    Positivity rate for influenza viruses has the highest value in the age group 50-64 years.
                    For surveillance and early in the season until 02/05/2013 inclusive, were confirmed 67 cases of avian influenza (52 influenza viruses type A and 15 type B influenza viruses)
                    Nationally, the total number of cases compatible with influenza and other respiratory infections (85 898) is 8.2% times higher than in the preceding week and recorded compared to the same week last season (only 0.4% less) .
                    The number of cases of severe acute respiratory infection reported dropped to 18, compared to 25 the previous week.


                    28.01.2013-03.02.2013 week has been no death from influenza or severe acute respiratory infections.
                    Characterization of influenza strains isolated from patients indicates that they correspond to the vaccine and are sensitive to antivirals in use.
                    Until 03.02.2013 flu were vaccinated 767,374 people in risk groups, vaccine distributed by the Ministry of Health.
