So far, eight laboratory- confirmed deaths to the RKI was submitted , four of them with influenza A ( H1N1) pdm09 and four with non subtypisierter influenza A.
The different distribution of the identified influenza A subtypes in the AGI -Sentinel and the
Reporting data is due inter alia due to the fact that after the 2009 pandemic significantly more PCR for
Subtyping of influenza A ( H1N1) pdm09 than for A ( H3N2) have been established . The distribution of the
Population circulating influenza types and subtypes is better represented in the AGI - Sentinel.
