Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xL2KCM. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We reviewed the case definitions used by 21 influenza sentinel-based surveillance networks in Western Europe. Two clinical syndromes were used with a wide range of case definitions that nevertheless shared common criteria. Although there is currently no international consensus, efforts are being undertaken to standardise influenza case definitions in Europe. |
