Article Synopsis
- After the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, China set up a surveillance system to monitor severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) across 10 provinces from 2011 to 2013.
- Out of 5,644 SARI cases analyzed, only 6% tested positive for influenza, with 62% of those being influenza A and 38% influenza B; older patients and those with chronic conditions were more frequently among the positive cases.
- The study found that the influenza strains identified in SARI cases closely matched those found through influenza-like illness (ILI) surveillance, with both systems showing peaks in activity at the same times.
