We use surveillance data to describe influenza A and B virus circulation over two consecutive seasons with excess all-cause mortality in Europe, especially in people aged 60 years and older. Influenza A(H3N2) virus dominated in 2016/17 and B/Yamagata in 2017/18. The latter season was prolonged with positivity rates above 50% among sentinel detections for at least 12 weeks. With a current west-east geographical spread, high influenza activity might still be expected in eastern Europe.
我们利用监测数据描述了在欧洲连续两个流感高发季节中,超额全因死亡率的情况,特别是在 60 岁及以上人群中。2016/17 年流行的主要是甲型 H3N2 流感病毒,2017/18 年流行的主要是乙型 Yamagata 流感病毒。后者的流行时间延长,至少在 12 周内,哨点检测的阳性率都保持在 50%以上。随着当前流感病毒从西向东的地域传播,东欧的流感活动仍可能很高。
