dc.description	Clinical influenza activity decreased in Ireland during week 13, with nine cases of influenza-like illness (ILI) reported by the sentinel general practices. Virological indicators were similar to week twelve, with one influenza A and five influenza B detections. Influenza activity in Europe appears to have peaked in February and continued to decline during week 13. A further five cases of human infection with H5N1 avian influenza were confirmed by the Vietnamese Ministry of Health on the 4th April. The official number of laboratory-confirmed human cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) since January 2004 is now 79. Forty-nine (62%) of these were fatal.	en_US
