ABSTRACT
Objective: To know what has been the movement of the different types of influenza virus from the event pandemic until the end of the 2016 season, in the different municipalities and/or jurisdictions of the State of Mexico. Material and methods: We review the annual concentrates of databases in Excel with a positive result for some type of influenza from the pandemic (2009) until the end of the 2016 season (epidemiological week 20). We carried out a descriptive analysis of each one of the viruses identified by period to determine the seasons its prevalence is higher. As well as to identify which were the most affected municipalities. Results: Accordingly, a total of 17 177 suspected cases (average: 490.7; range: 171-943 and median: 884), of which 3 829 (22.2%) were positive for some type of influenza virus, and of these, 2 993 were recorded in only 19 of the 125 municipalities that more cases of influenza were identify. To prevail in the first place: Nezahualcoyotl with 549 cases, followed by Naucalpan with 490, Ecatepec with 415 and Toluca with 315 cases respectively. Analysis: The circulation of the virus was more in those located to the north of Mexico City, and regardless of register by municipalities or by jurisdictions highlights that the distribution of events postpandemic showed equal an increase in the number of cases in general every two years. As reported in the global strains identified, post pandemic event (every two years). Thus highlighting the course of the viruses that cause influenza. Conclusions: The virus A(H1N1)pdm09 change to be a virus endemic. Possibly the climatic conditions of our municipalities have favored the largest concentration of cases of influenza.REFERENCES
