Abstract

In Croatia, the number of flu cases in season 2010/2011 (56,000; 28 deceased) was almost equal to that in a pandemic season 2009/2010 (58,000; 32 laboratory proven deceased), while the number of laboratory-confirmed cases was slightly higher, i.e. 1,756 vs. 1,561. The peak of influenza activity in Europe was observed during the 52nd week of 2010, i.e. the end of the year. In Croatia, however, it was observed in
the 5th week of 2011, i.e. in the beginning of February. There were 1561 A/H1N1//California/7/2009 laboratory-confirmed viruses, 88 B/Brisbane/60/2008 viruses and one A/H3N2/Perth/16/2009 virus.
