Abstract

This article aims to present the operation and usefulness of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) surveillance in Romania. Material and methods : The information obtained from surveillance data analysis using Epilnfo program revealed a greater severity of influenza in the second post-pandemic season (2011/2012) compared to the previous one (2010/2011). Detected risk factors were evidence-based arguments for recommending preventive measures in certain population groups. Conclusions: This surveillance system has proven useful, being able to provide information on the severity of influenza and other etiologies involved in severe acute respiratory infections.
