ABSTRACT
Influenza is a disease of viral etiology that mainly manifests itself with a symptomatology involving the respiratory tract and can vary from mild to moderate to severe and become a major cause of morbidity and mortality depending on the age groups affected,(It is more severe in the extremes of life, under 5 years and over 60) and in those with previous comorbidities (diabetes, obesity, chronic respiratory or cardiovascular diseases and others). In 2009, the A(H1N1) strain reached pandemic proportions with mortality between 100,000 and 400,000 subjects. The first pandemic of the 21st century. This virus, designated today as A(H1N1) pdm09, gradually became a seasonal virus as of 2010, and as such continues to circulate endemically to date in Latin American countries. Surveillance of influenza virus circulation is essential, both globally and at the country level. Worldwide, more than 120 countries have a National Influenza Centre responsible for surveillance of virus circulation. Global and regional epidemiology from North, Central and South America in selected countries is reviewed and treatment options and available vaccines are reviewed. Also, the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). Country policies are reviewed with respect to their statistics, vaccination policies, and financial resources.REFERENCES
