Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Figures have tended to increase recently - in part due to aging of population?
  2. Rapid tests - signifcance in ascertaining whether the infection is influenza and which type it is since now have therapeutic agents (some of which are type specific) - signifcance in differential diagnosis - eg if need to determine if Flu v. SARS - advent of rapid easy tests may increase diagnosis - may realise that flu involved in more illnesses than realised (eg enhanced surveillance of patients <21 at low risk for complications who were admitted to hospital for a variety of symptoms revealed that more severe morbitity and mortality assoc with influenza that was realised -2003).
