2. Figure 1
Epidemiologic curve of the influenza virus detected each week by cell culture and by the ‘near patient’ test during the and the seasons. Absolute number of influenza-positive samples detected by the ‘near patient’ test (open bars) or by the culture method (black bars). MC-ILI (%): percentage of medical contacts for ILI declared by the SSSN participants. Dotted line: threshold of 1.5% (MC-ILI) for an influenza epidemic. Values above 1.5% indicate an ongoing epidemic. Numbers on the horizontal axis indicate the number of the week of the corresponding year where the results were indicated.
