Summary
In Europe, surveillance for influenza is traditionally based on sentinel systems of primary care physicians who collect syndromic data on patients presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) or acute respiratory infection (ARI) [1]. To this end, the Working Group for Influenza (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Influenza (AGI)) in Germany was founded in 1992 [2]. While most sentinel systems in Europe collect ILI data, the AGI collects ARI data Because this type of surveillance focuses on illnesses of patients who seek healthcare, several countries have added Internet-based monitoring systems, in which data are collected from the population directly [4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Representativeness of the Internet-based systems has been reported to be good in terms of age and comorbidity [7,8], but there were difficulties in reaching minors as well as elderly people [7,8,9,10]
