[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]INTRODUCTION: :[/h] Little information is available on the evolution of influenza A (H1N1)pdm09-related mortality in Brazil.
[h=4]METHODS::[/h] During the period 2009-2014, official epidemiological surveillance and mortality data were used to ascertain influenza-related deaths in the Santa Catarina State in Brazil.
[h=4]RESULTS::[/h] The highest overall mortality rate (2.3 per 100,000) was observed in 2009. Pregnant women constituted the highest risk group (mortality rate 18.0 per 100,000). Following vaccination of high-risk groups, the rate reduced sharply but peaked again in 2012. It subsequently decreased, albeit more gradually.
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS::[/h] Influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 mortality demonstrated a cyclic pattern, with two peaks followed by a gradual decrease.
