Week 48: Week 23.11.2015-29.11.2015
Epidemiological data show increase of influenza and other ARI activity in Russia in comparison with previous week. The nationwide ILI & ARI morbidity level (59.6 per 10 000 of population) was lower than the national baseline for season 2015-2016 (69.5) by 14.2%.
ILI and ARI epidemic thresholds were not exceeded in all of 60 cities collaborating with two WHO NICs in Russia.
Cumulative number of diagnosed influenza cases
Cumulative results of influenza laboratory diagnosis by different tests were submitted by 53 RBLs and two WHO NICs. According to these data as a result of 1874 patients investigation the overall proportion of respiratory samples positive for influenza was estimated as 0.6%, including 0.4% for influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus, 0.1% for influenza A(H3N2) virus, 0.05% for influenza A and 0.05% for influenza B virus.
... Conclusion
Influenza and ARI morbidity data. Increased influenza and other ARI activity was registered during the week 48.2015 in traditional surveillance system in Russia. The nationwide ILI & ARI morbidity level (59.6 per 10 000 of population) was lower than the national baseline by 14.2%.
Etiology of ILI & ARI morbidity. The overall proportion of respiratory samples tested positive for influenza was estimated as 0.6%. Percent of positive ARI cases of non-influenza etiology (PIV, adeno- and RSV) was estimated as 24.4% of investigated patients by IFA and 18.8% by PCR.
In sentinel surveillance system clinical samples from 83 SARI and ILI/ARI patients were investigated by rRT-PCR. No influenza cases were detected.
