Trends of acute respiratory infection, including human metapneumovirus, in the Northern Hemisphere
In many countries of the Northern Hemisphere, trends in acute respiratory infections increase at this time of year. These increases are typically caused by seasonal epidemics of respiratory pathogens ...

🦠In the UK, #Flu positivity has hit high levels, while #RSV is on the decline and #COVID19 remains at baseline levels.

🦠Rhinoviruses led the way in Italy's sentinel samples last week, with flu viruses (79% type A) and RSV following.

📈Respiratory infections keep climbing in Spain. We've hit 666 cases per 100k people this week, up from 598 last week. Stay safe out there!
December 29, 2024 at 12:19 PM
📊Quick rundown: In Spain, about 18% test positive for flu, 14% for RSV, and 2% for SARS-CoV-2.
December 28, 2024 at 12:45 PM
🦠In Spain: Flu cases are rising fast, COVID-19 is also seeing an uptick, but RSV is slowing down and seems to be peaking in some regions. Stay safe, folks!
December 27, 2024 at 3:08 PM
If you asked me today about Spain's health situation, I'd tell you there's a decline in RSV cases, an uptick in flu, and COVID is sticking around but pretty low.
December 26, 2024 at 6:31 PM
In Spain, type B flu is still the main one, but it looks like this winter's epidemic wave will be type A, especially H1N1.

December 25, 2024 at 9:22 PM
🏥 Spain is seeing a spike in acute respiratory infections in primary care and hospitals, especially among kids. Hospitals report a big increase in children under 5, thanks to bronchiolitis caused by the high circulation of RSV in that age group.
December 25, 2024 at 7:32 PM
🦠The latest data from Spain, just before the holidays, shows that COVID-19 is still at low levels, while flu and RSV infections are on the rise.
December 24, 2024 at 12:19 PM
This is a perfect example of how every country is different and why generalizations don't work: in Spain, flu B is more prevalent, whereas in England, it's flu A.
