Abstract |
Little information is available on the evolution of influenza A (H1N1)pdm09-related mortality in Brazil. During the period 2009-2014, official epidemiological surveillance and mortality data were used to ascertain influenza-related deaths in the Santa Catarina State in Brazil. The highest overall mortality rate (2.3 per 100,000) was observed in 2009. Pregnant women constituted the highest risk group (mortality rate 18.0 per 100,000). Following vaccination of high-risk groups, the rate reduced sharply but peaked again in 2012. It subsequently decreased, albeit more gradually. Influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 mortality demonstrated a cyclic pattern, with two peaks followed by a gradual decrease. |
