The flu this season, so far, it has nothing to do with this, because the epidemic threshold, as usual, has not yet been overcome. No cases continue to rise and is expected to reach the rally, as had been done between January and February. However, thanks to the Sentinel Physician Network, a volunteer group to monitor the virus, 90% of patients find that the symptoms come on suddenly with malaise, fever, cough and chills. Over 50% of patients suffering from these symptoms are accompanied by sore throat.
Also draws attention to that 7.5% of the reported cases were vaccinated against flu, since the drug this year is a combination of the seasonal flu.
At week 51, corresponding to the second last December, the highest rate was for the age group of 5-14 years.
Influenza activity is increasing in all sentinel networks in the country with a prevalence of H1N1 virus, according to the National Epidemiological Surveillance Network of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III. Castilla-La Mancha remains below the national average with 71.1 cases per 100,000 population
