Reporting data to the Infection Protection Act (IfSG)
For the first Reporting week (MW) 2011 was submitted a total of 166 cases of influenza to the RKI: 138 clinical-laboratory-confirmed influenza A cases (94 influenza A (H1N1) infection in 2009 and 44 not subtypisierte influenza A infections), 12 not to A or B evidence, and 16 differentiated laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza B infection. The influenza A infections were each detected by antigen detection or PCR. 13 of influenza B infections were detected by PCR with three other antigen detection. Are not differentiated from A and B influenza infections were detected with PCR. 43 (26%) patients were hospitalized.
The age distribution for the 40th since the MW reference definition according to the RKI received, laboratory diagnosis confirmed cases is shown in Table 4 (data as of 11/01/2011).

Influenza disease has not in all cases, the His training ground. The high Hospitalisierungsquote in the previously submitted for the 2010/11 season
Cases is probably due to the fact that in severely ill patients, the diagnosis has been saved had laboratory diagnosis, and thus provided in accordance with the Infection Protection Act.

The Practice index is the AGI greater region in the east of the background activity in other major regions the slightly elevated range. The consultation incidence in the age group of 0 - to 4 -
Olds and the 5 - to 14-year-olds increased in all other age groups decreased the values. The National Influenza Reference Centre (NRZ) were in the 2nd KW 2011, 104 (positive rate 54%) of the 194 samples submitted Sentinel influenza viruses found: 90 (86%) influenza A (H1N1) 2009-virus, one (1%) influenza A (H3N2) virus and 13 (12%) influenza B viruses (data as of 01/18/2011).

At 356 of these cases (20%) indicated that they were hospitalized: 292 influenza A cases (including subtypisiert 195 as H1N1), 40 influenza B cases and 24 not after influenza A and B differentiated Cases. The influenza disease must be not in all cases, the basic instruction. The high Hospitalisierungsquote in the previously transmitted cases for the 2010/11 season is likely to attributed that in severely ill patients, the diagnosis more secure laboratory diagnosis and was thus reported in accordance with the Infection Protection Act.
For 18 cases it was stated that after they influenza A (H1N1) infection, 2009-died: five Cases from North Rhine-Westphalia, four cases from Bavaria, four cases from Lower Saxony, three cases from Saxony and two cases of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The influenza disease must be not in all cases, the basic instruction. The high Hospitalisierungsquote from the reported cases is probably due to the fact that in critically ill patients, the diagnostic laboratory diagnosis more secure and thus under IfSG has been transmitted.

For 25 cases it was stated that after they influenza A (H1N1) infection in 2009 died: 7 Cases from North Rhine-Westphalia, 5 cases in Bavaria, 4 cases from Lower Saxony, Saxony of 3 cases, 4 cases from Baden-Wuerttemberg and Hesse in 2 cases. None of the cases died, for the information to
