Key Points

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI)

• Flu: The region remains in the epidemic phase for the flu

  • The circulation of the influenza virus remains very active in the region

  • Marked predominance of the influenza A(H3N2) subtype, the main driver of the current epidemic

• Bronchiolitis: Pre-epidemic phase continues in the region

  • Persistent circulation of respiratory syncytial virus at a moderate level, justifying the continuation of enhanced surveillance to detect the onset of an epidemic phase early
