    We studied 1,432 febrile travelers from Sweden who had returned from malaria-endemic areas during March 2005?March 2008. In 383 patients, paired serum samples were blindly analyzed for influenza and 7 other agents. For 21% of 115 patients with fever of unknown origin, serologic analysis showed that influenza was the major cause.

    they were examined at any time of year, (before 2009 --> no ******)

    25 had flu-A , 11 had flu-B
    9 (7 from Africa) had flu outside the Northern flu-season
    I'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates
