Abstract
Abstract:Human influenza virus surveillance has a pronounced seasonal cycle.Rapid and reliable detection of newly emerging influenza viruses is important to enhance our influenza reasserting in Iraq. A total of 869 samples were collected fromhospitalizedpatientswith Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI)fromsix south Iraq governorates( Najaf, Qadisiyah, Maysan, Muthanna, DhiQarand Basrah ) during the year 2013. Approximately 29.34%of the cases were belong to the Influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 which predominant on the seasonal flue20.71% of all suspected SARI patients.Male patients showed higher percentage than female patients 153(59.99%)and102(39.99% respectively).The highest peak of H1N1 infection was recorded in age group > 40 years old69 (27.05%)fallowed by age group 14-19 years old which represented 52 (20.39%)in male patients. In female patient the pattern was different the highest peak was observed in age group 19-40 years old41(16.07%) fallowed by age group > 40 years old32(12.54%).Influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 activity in Iraq start increasing in winter season, particularly in January,and toward the end of February in some governorates and my extend to March in others.
