摘要: Laboratory-supported influenza surveillance is important as part of pandemic preparedness, for identifying and isolating candidate vaccine strains, supporting trials anti-influenza drugs refining the case definition in practice. This study describes implementation laboratory-supported Victorian sentinel general practices provides an estimate proportion patients with influenza-like illness proven to have influenza. During 1998 1999, 25 contributed clinical data 16 metropolitan participated laboratory surveillance. Serological, virus-antigen detection, virus culture multiplex polymerase chain reaction procedures were used establish diagnosis Two laboratories at major teaching hospitals Melbourne provided additional on identification. General practice identification similar pattern community between May September. The suspicion was confirmed 49 54 per cent cases seen
