Abstract
SUMMARYThe 2009 novel H1N1 influenza pandemic had a significant impact on Shenzhen's population with 2063 laboratory-confirmed human H1N1 cases and five deaths being reported. We used parameters from two population-based surveys and the Shenzhen Influenza Surveillance System to estimate the total number of H1N1 influenza infections in Shenzhen in the 2009 pandemic. The attack rate of influenza-like illness (ILI) in family households was 11?2% (95% CI 9?4-13?0), with 80?2% (95% CI 77?8-82?5) seeking medical care. The ILI attack rate in workers was 38?1% (95% CI 34?3-41?7) with 72?5% (95% CI 66?9-78?0) seeking medical care. The average H1N1 positive rate in individuals reporting ILI and testing by polymerase chain reaction was 22?7%. A total of 611 000-768 000 people, or 4?7-5?9% of the Shenzhen population, are estimated to have experienced H1N1 influenza. The estimated total number of cases of H1N1 is likely to be 330 times greater than the number of laboratory-confirmed cases.
