Abstract
At present, two influenza A viruses, H1N1pdm09 and H3N2, along with influenza
B virus co-circulate in the human population, causing endemic and seasonal
epidemic acute febrile respiratory infections, sometimes with
life-threatening complications. Detection of influenza viruses in
nasopharyngeal swab samples was done by real-time RT-PCR. There were 60.2%
(53/88) positive samples in 2010/11, 63.4% (52/82) in 2011/12, and 49.9%
(184/369) in 2012/13. Among the positive patients, influenza A viruses were
predominant during the first two seasons, while influenza B type was more
active during 2012/13. Subtyping of influenza A positive samples revealed the
presence of A (H1N1)pdm09 in 2010/11, A (H3N2) in 2011/12, while in 2012/13,
both subtypes were detected. The highest seroprevalence against influenza A
was in the age-group 30-64, and against influenza B in adults aged 30-64 and
>65.
