Denmark (http://www.ssi.dk/sitecore/content/home/aktuelt/nyhedsbreve/influenza-nyt.aspx ):
Up to 24 January (week 3/2011), a cumulative total of 86 influenza patients have been reported by intensive care units (ICUs) in Denmark with a median age of 54 years (range 15 months to 83 years).
Fifteen patients were admitted to an ICU in week 3/2011 compared with 19 new admissions in week 3.
There is, however, still pressure on the wards, reflected by the increasing proportion of ICU beds used for influenza patients.
On Monday, 31 January 2011 (8am), 35 influenza patients were in ICUs, corresponding to 10.2% of the total number of occupied ICU beds in the country, compared to 9.5% in the week before.
Until 24 January, of the ICU patients, 73 patients were diagnosed with Influenza A, 27 of whom were reported to be further subtyped as subtype A(H1N1)2009.
Thirteen patients had influenza B infection.
Six patients with influenza A and one patient with influenza B received extracorporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Eleven patients with influenza A and two with influenza B died.
Fourteen of the 86 patients were reported to be previously healthy people and for another 22 patients no underlying condition was reported.
For 50 patients, one or more underlying conditions were described.
No influenza patients were reported to be pregnant.
Initial alignment with the Danish Vaccination Registry showed that 15 of the 86 patients had received the 2010/2011 seasonal influenza vaccine between weeks 39 and 46/2010.
The other 71 patients were either not vaccinated between weeks 39 and 46/2010 or had not been reported to the registry.
