Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 22 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST (ECDC, edited)

ECDC SITUATION REPORT

Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 22 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST

[Original Full Document: LINK. EDITED.]


Main developments in past 24 hours

• 552 new cases (no new deaths) confirmed and reported from the EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 17,733;
• 2,313 new cases reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 129,005;
• The fourth oseltamivir-resistant influenza A(H1N1)v viral strain was identified from Quebec, Canada

This report is based on official information provided by the national public health websites, or through other official communication channels. An update on the number of confirmed cases as of 22 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST, is presented in Table 1 and Table 2.

Disclaimer:

The number of confirmed cases reported is based on laboratory test results, except for the US. Depending on the national laboratory testing policies, the actual number of cases by country may therefore be higher. Several countries have now announced concentrating on mitigation measures and this usually implies focused laboratory testing. For these countries, the reported numbers of cases presented in this report will severely underestimate the true incidence in the country and will not be comparable to countries still recommending laboratory tests of all suspected influenza cases.


Epidemiologic update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries have reported a total of 17,733 confirmed cases, including 33 deaths.

In the past 24 hours, 552 new cases (no fatal cases) were reported from the EU and EFTA countries.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 2,313 new cases have been reported within the last 24 hours, including 817 deaths.

In total, 129,005 have been reported from non-EU and EFTA countries.

Globally, the total number of confirmed and reported influenza A(H1N1)v cases to date is 146,738 and 850 deaths.


Other developments

Separate media sources report that several confirmed cases from Iran, Kuwait and Egypt had recently returned from the Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca.

Media sources discussed the start of clinical trials for the pandemic vaccine in Australia and China.

Media sources quoted the Public Health Agency of Canada indicating that the fourth case of oseltamivir-resistant influenza A(H1N1)v had been identified in a 60-year old man after treatment with the medicine. With large amounts of oseltamivir being used in affected countries, the identification of isolated cases of resistant strains is fully expected.

Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 23 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST (ECDC, edited)

ECDC SITUATION REPORT

Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 23 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST

[Original Full Document: LINK. EDITED.]


Main developments in past 24 hours

• 1671 new cases and 2 new fatal cases, including first fatal case from Hungary were confirmed and reported from the EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 19,404;
• 3,247 new cases reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 132,252;
• Finland announced moving to mitigation as a control strategy;
• GP consultation rates continue to increase markedly in England.

This report is based on official information provided by the national public health websites, or through other official communication channels. An update on the number of confirmed cases as of 23 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST, is presented in Table 1 and Table 2.

Disclaimer:

The number of confirmed cases reported is based on laboratory test results, except for the US. Depending on the national laboratory testing policies, the actual number of cases by country may therefore be higher. Several countries have now announced concentrating on mitigation measures and this usually implies focused laboratory testing. For these countries, the reported numbers of cases presented in this report will severely underestimate the true incidence in the country and will not be comparable to countries still recommending laboratory tests of all suspected influenza cases.


Epidemiologic update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries have reported a total of 19,404 confirmed cases, including 35 deaths.

In the past 24 hours, 1671 new cases were reported from the EU and EFTA countries.

The first fatal case was reported from Hungary and one fatal case was reported from UK.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 3,247 new cases and 16 deaths have been reported within the last 24 hours,

New fatal cases were reported, 6 from Australia and 10 from Mexico.

In total, 132,252 cases including 833 fatal cases have been reported from non-EU and EFTA countries.

Globally, the total number of confirmed and reported influenza A(H1N1)v cases to date is 151,656 and 868 deaths.


Other developments

Finland announced moving to mitigation as a control strategy.

The weekly pandemic flu update published by HPA indicates that GP consultation rates for influenza-like-illness continue to increase, with all regions reporting ?exceptional influenza activity?. The 0-14 year old age group appears to be mostly affected.

The disease appears to be mild in severity and no oseltamivir or zanamivir-resistant strains have been identified among 60 tested samples.

HPA also estimates there were 100 000 cases of swine flu in England last week. The full report is available at: http://www.hpa.org.uk/hpr/infections/primarycare.htm


Errata

The Situation Report for 22 July contained errors in Table 2. The correct number for confirmed cases reported in the last 24hours should have read as follows: Costa Rica 57, Chile 367, Peru 125, Laos Peoples Democratic Republic 44, TOTAL 2345.

Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 25 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST (ECDC, edited)

ECDC SITUATION REPORT

Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 25 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST

[Original Full Document: LINK. EDITED.]


Main developments in past 24 hours

• 81 new cases (none fatal) were confirmed and reported from the EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 20,463;
• 4,158 new cases reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 138,761;

This report is based on official information provided by the national public health websites, or through other official communication channels. An update on the number of confirmed cases as of 25 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST, is presented in Table 1 and Table 2.

Disclaimer:

The number of confirmed cases reported is based on laboratory test results, except for the US. Depending on the national laboratory testing policies, the actual number of cases by country may therefore be higher. Several countries have now announced recommendations on treatment on clinical signs only and focused laboratory testing only for specific population groups or in outbreaks. For these countries, the reported numbers of cases presented in this report will severely underestimate the true incidence in the country and will not be comparable to countries still recommending laboratory tests of all suspected influenza cases.


Epidemiologic update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries have reported a total of 20,463 confirmed cases, including 35 deaths.

In the past 24 hours, 81 new cases were reported from the EU and EFTA countries.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 4158 new cases and 62 deaths have been reported within the last 24 hours. New fatal cases were reported from Australia (1), Bolivia (2), Chile (11), Ecuador (2), El Salvador (1), Indonesia (1), Peru (3), Singapore (2) and USA (39).

In total, 138,761 cases including 944 fatal cases have been reported from non-EU and EFTA countries.

Globally, the total number of confirmed and reported influenza A(H1N1)v cases to date is 159,224 and 979 deaths.


Other developments

A report from the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) on the extraordinary meeting on the influenza A (H1N1) 2009 pandemic (7 July 2009) has been published on the WHO Weekly epidemiological record issued on 24 July.

The committee also issued recommendations on groups that should be prioritized for vaccination emphasizing the need to protect the functioning of the essential health infrastructure by immunizing health care workers. Other groups at risk of experiencing a more severe pandemic influenza illness have been identified based on the current available evidence.

The report is available at: http://www.who.int/wer/2009/wer8430.pdf


The Ministry of Health of Brazil has published some results of a comparative analysis looking at rates of severe acute respiratory syndrome among individuals diagnosed with seasonal and pandemic influenza over the same period of time (April 25- July 18). Severity was defined as having a moderate or severe difficulty in breathing. The proportion of severe cases was similar between patients infected with seasonal strains (17% of 528 cases) and pandemic A(H1N1) strains (14.2% of 1566 cases).

The report is available at: http://portal.saude.gov.br/portal/ap..._NOTICIA=10421

Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 26 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST (ECDC, edited)

ECDC SITUATION REPORT

Influenza A(H1N1)v infection - Update 26 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST

[Original Full Document: LINK. EDITED.]


Main developments in past 24 hours

• 49 new cases (none fatal) were confirmed and reported from the EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 20,512;
• 765 new cases reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 138,761;

This report is based on official information provided by the national public health websites, or through other official communication channels. An update on the number of confirmed cases as of 26 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST, is presented in Table 1 and Table 2.

Disclaimer:

Several countries have now announced recommendations on treatment on clinical signs only and focused laboratory testing only for specific population groups or in outbreaks. For these countries, the reported numbers of cases presented in this report will severely underestimate the true incidence in the country and will not be comparable to countries still recommending laboratory tests of all suspected influenza cases.


Epidemiologic update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries have reported a total of 20,512 confirmed cases, including 35 deaths.

In the past 24 hours, 49 new cases were reported from the EU and EFTA countries.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 765 new cases and 12 deaths have been reported within the last 24 hours.

New fatal cases were reported from Costa Rica (4), Mexico (2), Ecuador (5), and Uruguay (1).

In total, 139,526 cases including 956 fatal cases have been reported from non-EU and EFTA countries.

Globally, the total number of confirmed and reported influenza A(H1N1)v cases to date is 160,038 and 991 deaths.


US stopped reporting numbers of cases as of July 24th

On July 24th the United States Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) announced that they will no longer report the number of confirmed and probable cases of Novel H1N1 influenza because they recognized that these numbers now represent only a small proportion of the true number of cases.

From next week CDC will report the total number of hospitalization and deaths each week, and continue to use its traditional surveillance systems to track the progress of the novel H1N1 flu outbreak.

Surveillance updates will be posted regularly on the Influenza FluView web-site available at: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly

A media transcript of the Broadcast which contains other relevant information is available at: http://www.cdc.gov/media/transcripts/2009/t090724.htm

Re: European Centre of Diseases Control and Prevention (ECDC), Updates, Statements, News

Pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 - Update 31 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST (ECDC, edited)

[Original Full Document: LINK. EDITED.]

ECDC SITUATION REPORT

Pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 - Update 31 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST


Main developments in past 24 hours

• 2403 new cases, including 738 new cases from Germany, 705 from the United Kingdom and the first death in France were confirmed and reported from the EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 26,424;
• 3273 new cases including 20 fatal cases, were reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a cumulative total of 156,902 cases;
• ECDC compiled an update of the analysis of individual case notification, attached to this report.

This report is based on official information provided by the national public health websites, or through other official communication channels. An update on the number of confirmed cases as of 30 July 2009, 17:00 hours CEST, is presented in Table 1 and Table 2.

Disclaimer:

The number of confirmed cases reported is based on laboratory test results, except for the US. Depending on the national laboratory testing policies, the actual number of cases by country may therefore be higher. Several countries have now announced recommendations on treatment on clinical signs only and focused laboratory testing only for specific population groups or in outbreaks. For these countries, the reported numbers of cases presented in this report will severely underestimate the true incidence in the country and will not be comparable to countries still recommending laboratory tests of all suspected influenza cases.


Epidemiologic update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries have reported a total of 26,424 confirmed cases of influenza A(H1N1)v infection, including 39 deaths. In the past 24 hours, 2,403 new cases and the first fatal case in France were reported from the EU and EFTA countries. Germany reported 738 new cases and the United Kingdom 705.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 3273 new cases have been reported within the last 24 hours. In total, 156,902 cases including 1109 fatal cases have been reported from non-EU and EFTA countries.

Globally, the total number of confirmed and reported influenza A(H1N1)v cases to date is 183,326, including 1,148 deaths.


Other developments

ECDC compiled today an update on the analysis of individual case reports provided by Member States, attached to this report.

ECDC SURVEILLANCE REPORT

PANDEMIC (H1N1) 2009 Weekly report - Individual Case Reports - EU and EEA countries - As of 27 July 2009


Summary

The pandemic of influenza A(H1N1)v is spreading despite the influenza season is over. Community transmission is ongoing in several of the 27 EU and three European Economic Area (EEA) and EFTA countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and transmission between countries is frequent.

The most affected age groups are persons under 20 years of age.

Persons 60 years and older are less frequently affected, but are more frequently hospitalised and do have a higher proportion of underlying disease.

The move to mitigation strategy in nearly half of the countries severely affects the current surveillance of individual cases. Ongoing monitoring of the disease is urgently needed and change of surveillance is currently implemented.


Acknowledgement

These data were provided by the national contact points for surveillance and for the Early Warning and Response System of the EU and EEA countries. ECDC wishes to acknowledge the continuous commitment and effort of all these individuals and their teams in ensuring the timely reporting of valid individual data from their respective countries.

Due to the efforts countries made to update aggregated information through EWRS and their websites the continuous active monitoring of the pandemic since its start by the ECDC team was possible.


Introduction

On 21 April 2009, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC) reported two cases of influenza due to a new virus strain of mixed swine, avian and human origin, the so-called new influenza A(H1N1) virus (hereafter named A(H1N1)v virus) [1].

On 25 April, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) published a risk assessment, started developing tools to monitor the situation and support the countries of the European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA), and initiated its first situation report distributed daily to more than 700 stakeholders since then.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) raised its pandemic alert level to phase 4 on 27 April and up-scaled again to phase 5 on 29 April. On 11 June, phase 6 was announced by WHO.

Aggregated and individual case reporting was implemented by ECDC using the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS). A workshop was held on 14/15 July at ECDC to discuss further surveillance strategies.

The objective of this report is to present the epidemiological situation in the 27 EU and the three countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) and EFTA, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, hereafter called the EU+3 countries, on the basis of the surveillance data provided by the EU+3 countries through individual and aggregated case reports. Country specific reports are available [1-6].


Methods

Data used in this analysis of the epidemiological situation in the EU+3 countries, as of Monday 27 July 2009 10:00 CEST, include laboratory confirmed individual case reports posted by countries in the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) and aggregated case reports provided daily through the EWRS or through other official communication channels.

Confirmed cases are defined as persons in whom the infection has been confirmed by RT-PCR, or by viral culture or by a four-fold rise in influenza A(H1N1)v-specific neutralising antibodies. The latter implies, according to the EU case definition, the need for paired sera from the acute phase of illness and from the convalescent stage 10-14 days later [2].

While countries with fewer cases are uploading data directly into the surveillance database at ECDC, Spain, the United Kingdom (UK), (who both have high number of cases) Belgium, Slovenia and Malta, are providing extracts from their national databases, which are then imported into the ECDC database. Re-coding of some of the variables is necessary

Cases which are not explicitly reported having been exposed during travel in an affected country (imported or travel related cases) are considered to have been infected in their own country.

Due to the fact that detailed symptoms are not available for the majority of cases, and that no denominator can be defined, this analysis describes groups of symptoms rather than detailed symptoms. The distribution of symptoms is described among symptomatic patients only. The proportion of asymptomatic persons cannot be assessed with the current data available.

• (***) Cases from the Netherlands include those reported from Aruba and the Dutch Antilles

When analysing the individual data by country of reporting (figure 1), a drastic decrease in the number of cases in the 3rd week of June is due to the fact that the last report from the UK was received on 3 July.

[Figure 1 - Number of cases of individual reports by onset of disease and country of reporting, 20 April until 27 July, 2009 (...)]


Imported cases

Among the 2,393 travel related cases, only in 33 (1.4%) no probable country of infection was reported. More than half of the cases (1319), reported a travel to the North American sub-continent, 1,022 (76%) to the USA, 221 (17%) to Mexico and 62 (5%) to Canada. The rest reported a travel to more than one country. Cases with travel history to Mexico contributed mainly to the early imported cases, whereas cases with travel history to the US and Canada accounted for later cases imported from the North American sub-continent (figure 2).

[Figure 2 - Number of travel related cases by onset of disease and continent of travel, 20 April until 27 July, 2009 (n=2,393) (...)]

A travel history within the EU+3 countries was the second most common travel destination of imported cases and accounted for 28% of travel related cases (674). More than 1/3 of travel related cases to another EU country reported Spain as their destination (253) and nearly as many the UK (250). Cyprus as travel destination accounted for 9% of cases (58), followed by Greece, 4% (24), France (23) and Germany (19). Less than 10 cases with travel exposure to the following countries were reported: Belgium, Bulgaria and Ireland (7 each), Italy and Poland (5 each), Malta, Portugal and Netherlands (2 each), Austria, Norway and Slovakia (1 each). Seven cases reported a travel to more than one EU+3 country.

Central and South American travel destinations accounted for 6% or travel related cases in EU+3 countries (153): Argentina (52), Dominican Republic (35), Brazil (26), Chile (20), other countries with less than 10 cases.

Other frequent travel destinations were to the Southern hemisphere (3%) and Asian countries (3%): Australia (63), New Zealand (16), Thailand (41), Philippines (10), from all other countries of the Southern hemisphere less than 10 cases were imported to EU+3 countries. Four percent (87) of travel related cases in the EU reported other destinations world-wide (figure 2) but less than 10 cases had exposure in these countries (figure 3).

[Figure 3 - Number of travel related cases by country, 20 April until 27 July, 2009 (n=2,360) (...)]

The median age of travel related cases is 25 years, ranging from 1 month to 82 years of age. More than 1/3 of cases were reported in the 20 to 29 year age group. Nine percent of cases were older than 50 years of age. The male to female ratio of travel related cases was 1.2 (table 2).

Domestic cases

The majority of cases (74%, 6,918) were classified as domestic cases, who had either no travel history (96%, 6,665) or unknown travel history (4%, 253).

In the EU+3 countries the percentage of domestic cases among individually reported cases was 74%, with wide variation among countries: 6% in Luxembourg and Slovakia and 94% in Cyprus. No domestic cases were reported from Latvia and Slovenia, Greece did not report individual cases (table 3).

Most travel related cases with travel history to another EU+3 country reported a previous travel exposure to Spain (256), the UK (251), Cyprus (58), France and Greece (24) (table 3).

The median age of domestic cases is 14 years, ranging from 1 month to 90 years compared to the median age of 25 years of travel related cases. Among the 6,787 cases with known age, 4,325 (64%) are below 20 years of age and less than 5% (296) are 50 years or older. The male to female ratio of domestic cases is 1.1.

The age distribution of domestic and travel related cases is different (figure 4): among travel related cases 64% are younger than 20 years of age compared to 28% of travel related cases (p<0.0001).

(*) no data available
(**) no cases hospitalised

Cases with underlying disease were more frequently hospitalised (32%) compared to patients without underlying diseases (10%) (n=8,673, p<0.0001).


Complications

The information regarding complications is scarce. Among 1,674 cases with available information 50 (3%) were reported with complications.

Pneumonia was reported in 28 (56%) of those, of which 20 were reported having been admitted to hospital.

In the individual case reports one fatal case is reported, whereas in the aggregated reports 35 deaths during the same period were reported: 30 from the UK, 4 from Spain and one from Hungary.


Clinical presentation

Information on clinical symptoms is available for 5,220 cases. No information is available from Belgium and Slovenia. Only four cases were reported to be asymptomatic. Respiratory symptoms were the most frequently reported symptoms among symptomatic cases (87%), followed by fever (82%) and gastro-intestinal symptoms (13%).

Gastro-intestinal symptoms were more frequently reported from cases less than 20 years of age (15%) when compared with older cases (12%) (p<0.001).


Treatment and prophylaxis

Among 8,009 cases with available information on antiviral treatment, 55% were reported having received antiviral treatment. The proportion of cases receiving treatment varied between countries: 15% of cases in Slovakia to 100% in Estonia, Slovenia and Latvia (only one case).


Underlying preconditions

In total, 290 cases were reported having underlying preconditions, which are considered risk factors for severe disease. Among the 192 cases with available information about underlying precondition, lung disease was the most frequently reported condition (57%, n=109) followed by pregnancy (13%, n=25), diabetes (9%, n=17) and heart disease (8%, n=16).

Significantly more cases with underlying preconditions were treated (75%) when compared with previous healthy cases (55%) (p<0.0001).

The proportion of cases with underlying disease increased by age: in the age group of 60 years and older 20% were reported to have an underlying disease (table 6).

[Table 6 - Number of individually reported cases, number of cases with underlying preconditions and proportion by age group]

[Age groups - Individually reported cases - Cases with underlying preconditions - Percentage (%)]

• under 10 - 1,996 - 26 - 1.3
• 10 to 19 - 2,978 - 63 - 2.1
• 20 to 29 - 2,172 - 64 - 2.9
• 30 to 39 - 829 - 49 - 5.9
• 40 to 49 - 645 - 32 - 5.0
• 50 to 59 - 360 - 23 - 6.4
• 60+ - 157 - 32 - 20.4
• Total 9,137 - 289 - 3.2

The vaccination status was reported from 7,792 cases, of which 2.5% (n=193) were reported having been vaccinated against seasonal influenza. The vaccination coverage was significantly higher among persons with reported underlying preconditions (30%) compared to previous healthy cases (2.3%) (p<0.0001).


Discussion

The fact that many countries are moving to mitigation strategy will significantly influence the surveillance activities. Mitigation also considers change of surveillance to sentinel reporting of influenza like illness rather than exhaustive reporting of cases.

The last report from the UK was received on 3 July, which accounted for the majority of reported cases. The UK reported to have moved from containment to mitigation on 10 July which also resulted in a change of surveillance. The decrease in the number of cases reported during the last week in June is due to the end of reporting UK data which accounted for nearly 2/3 of cases. The drop in the epidemic curve in July is due to due to the reporting delay, but also due to the fact that nearly half of the countries have changed to mitigation, which includes change of surveillance strategy.

The data quality of underlying preconditions may be not accurate especially when the number of cases is high in a country (personal communication from the UK).


Conclusion

The ongoing pandemic is continuing to spread and the number of cases is rapidly increasing despite the fact that the seasonal influenza season is considered to be over. In several countries, in-country transmission is probably ongoing.

Persons with underlying preconditions are more vulnerable group for complications and severe disease and are getting more frequently antiviral treatment and are more frequently vaccinated against seasonal influenza. Nevertheless, the estimated seasonal influenza vaccination coverage is well below its target to be achieved in risk groups.

The age groups affected are important to be continuously monitored to help guiding target age groups for pandemic vaccination with initially limited vaccines.

The surveillance of individually reported cases will soon stop and other surveillance strategies are needed. A meeting with stakeholders from EU+3 countries was recently held in Stockholm, and surveillance of ILI and SARI (severe acute respiratory infection) will be two important strategies.

Serologic studies will be needed to assess the proportion of asymptomatic cases, and the ability of asymptomatic cases to transmit the infection. In addition, specific other studies are needed to answer the many open questions about this disease.

ECDC SITUATION REPORT

Pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 - Update 1 August 2009, 17:00 hours CEST


Main developments in past 24 hours

• 22 new cases reported from the EU and EFTA countries, all from Switzerland, reaching a total of 26 446 cases;
• 1 further death reported in Spain (total 7);
• 986 new cases including 94 fatal cases, were reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a cumulative total of 157 989 cases;

This report is based on official information provided by the national public health websites, or through other official communication channels. An update on the number of confirmed cases as of 1 August 2009, 17:00 hours CEST, is presented in Table 1 and Table 2.

Disclaimer:

The number of confirmed cases reported is based on laboratory test results, except for the US. Depending on the national laboratory testing policies, the actual number of cases by country may therefore be higher. Several countries have now announced recommendations on treatment on clinical signs only and focused laboratory testing only for specific population groups or in outbreaks. For these countries, the reported numbers of cases presented in this report will severely underestimate the true incidence in the country and will not be comparable to countries still recommending laboratory tests of all suspected influenza cases.


Epidemiologic update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries have reported a total of 26 446 confirmed cases of influenza A(H1N1)v infection, including 40 deaths. In the past 24 hours, 22 new cases and one additional fatal case in Spain were reported from the EU and EFTA countries.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 986 new cases have been reported within the last 24 hours. In total, 157 989 cases including 1 207 fatal cases have been reported from non-EU and EFTA countries.

Globally, the total number of confirmed and reported influenza A(H1N1)v cases to date is 184 435, including 1 247 deaths.

Pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 - Update 2 August 2009, 17:00 hours CEST (ECDC, edited)

[Original Full Document: LINK. EDITED.]

ECDC SITUATION REPORT

Pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 - Update 2 August 2009, 17:00 hours CEST


Main developments in past 24 hours

• 67 new cases reported from the EU and EFTA countries, reaching a total of 26 513 cases;
• 368 new cases including 5 fatal cases, were reported from non-EU and EFTA countries, reaching a cumulative total of 158 357 cases;

This report is based on official information provided by the national public health websites, or through other official communication channels. An update on the number of confirmed cases as of 2 August 2009, 17:00 hours CEST, is presented in Table 1 and Table 2.

Disclaimer:

The number of confirmed cases reported is based on laboratory test results, except for the US. Depending on the national laboratory testing policies, the actual number of cases by country may therefore be higher. Several countries have now announced recommendations on treatment on clinical signs only and focused laboratory testing only for specific population groups or in outbreaks. For these countries, the reported numbers of cases presented in this report will severely underestimate the true incidence in the country and will not be comparable to countries still recommending laboratory tests of all suspected influenza cases.


Epidemiologic update

Out of the 31 EU and EFTA countries, 30 countries have reported a total of 26 513 confirmed cases of influenza A(H1N1)v infection, including 40 deaths. In the past 24 hours, 67 new cases were reported from the EU and EFTA countries.

Outside of the EU and EFTA countries, a total of 368 new cases have been reported within the last 24 hours. In total, 158 357 cases including 1 212 fatal cases have been reported from non-EU and EFTA countries.

Globally, the total number of confirmed and reported influenza A(H1N1)v cases to date is 184 870, including 1 252 deaths.
