Currently, two systems for the monitoring of influenza are in use in Germany, which, if appropriate cooperation is forth-coming, may complement each other: The system of the influenza working group at the Robert Koch Institute that makes use of the measuring parameters ARD (acute respiratory disease) and viral detection (PCR/isolation) together with a sentinel system of reporting physicians to establish morbidity and mortality, provides information via the Internet. The delay associated with reporting is approximately one week and is longer for viral isolation. Cooperation in the European influenza surveillance system (EISS) and,via the National Reference Centers, with the WHO global monitoring system. The RealFlu system employing the parameters ILI (influenza-like illness) and rapid influenza tests with a sentinel system of reporting physicians, which is designed to provide accurate and regional information on influenza activity. The information is updated on a day-to-day basis, and is available to anyone on the Internet.
目前，德国使用两种流感监测系统，若能进行适当合作，二者可相互补充：罗伯特·科赫研究所流感工作组的系统，该系统利用急性呼吸道疾病（ARD）和病毒检测（PCR/分离）测量参数，结合报告医生的哨点系统来确定发病率和死亡率，并通过互联网提供信息。报告相关的延迟约为一周，病毒分离的延迟更长。该系统还参与欧洲流感监测系统（EISS），并通过国家参考中心与世界卫生组织全球监测系统合作。实时流感（RealFlu）系统采用流感样疾病（ILI）参数和快速流感检测，以及报告医生的哨点系统，旨在提供有关流感活动的准确区域信息。信息每日更新，任何人都可在互联网上获取。
