Up to week 5 of 2006, the numbers of consultations for influenza-like illness (ILI) or acute respiratory infection (ARI) have been low in all European countries reporting to the European Influenza Surveillance Scheme (http://www.eiss.org). Only slight increases of influenza activity have been reported in recent weeks by France, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom [1]. Experience of previous epidemics suggests that clinical influenza activity may still increase in the coming weeks. (aut. ref.)
