The gray and gloomy sky, the cold temperatures. The portrait of out-of-season winter is completed on the health side: even the
flu-like syndromes
– from the actual flu to the most varied colds and respiratory viruses – they have a backlash. The incidence of these pathologies has started to rise again for almost a month, reaching an unusual peak at the end of March: never, at this time of the year, did the “sentinel doctors” intercept so many cases. This is what emerges from the latest bulletins of
«InfluNet»
the epidemiological surveillance network of flu-like syndromes.
The latest report, relating to the week between 21 and 27 March, in fact reported an incidence of 6.9 cases per thousand assisted
(
i.e. every thousand people) in Lombardy
. That is much higher than in the past, just go and browse the reports of previous years: in the same week of 2021 the incidence was 1.58 cases per thousand patients.
