Influenza

Through Respiratory DataMart, influenza positivity remained stable at 1.6% in week 38 2024 compared with 1.4% in the previous week.

Laboratory surveillance

Respiratory DataMart system (England)

In week 38 2024, data is based on reporting from 11 out of the 16 sentinel laboratories.

In week 38 2024, 3,896 respiratory specimens reported through the Respiratory DataMart System were tested for influenza. There were 63 positive samples for influenza; 28 influenza A(not subtyped), 22 influenza A(H3N2), 1 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, and 12 influenza B.

Overall, influenza positivity remained stable at 1.6% in week 38 compared with 1.4% in the previous week.
