[WEEKLY SUMMARY]. Regional Situation: Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) activity has shown a general
downward trend in recent weeks, except in North America, where a slight increase in ILI cases has been observed. In this
region, most positive cases have been associated with SARS-CoV-2, and to a lesser extent, influenza. In the Caribbean, Central
America, the Andean region, and the Southern Cone, most positive cases have been linked to RSV, SARS-CoV-2, and influenza.
SARS-CoV-2 activity remains high in North America and is increasing in Brazil and the Southern Cone. Influenza has shown a
general decrease but continues to fluctuate in certain Caribbean and Andean subregion countries, as well as the Southern
Cone. RSV activity has begun to decline in the Andean subregion and the Southern Cone after reaching epidemic levels in
previous weeks but remains high in some Central American countries and is rising in some Caribbean nations. [RESUMEN SEMANAL]. Situación regional: La actividad de Enfermedad Tipo Influenza (ETI) e Infección Respiratoria Aguda Grave (IRAG) ha mostrado
una tendencia general a la baja en las últimas semanas, salvo en América del Norte, donde se ha observado un ligero
aumento en los casos de ETI. En esta región, la mayoría de los casos positivos han estado asociados a SARS-CoV-2, y en
menor medida, a influenza. En el Caribe, América Central, la región Andina y el Cono Sur, la mayoría de los casos positivos han
sido vinculados a VRS, SARS-CoV-2 e influenza.
La actividad de SARS-CoV-2 continúa siendo elevada en Norteamérica, y se encuentra en ascenso en Brasil y el Cono Sur. La
influenza ha mostrado una disminución generalizada, aunque sigue presentando fluctuaciones en ciertos países del Caribe y la
subregión Andina y el Cono Sur. La actividad del Virus Respiratorio Sincitial (VRS) ha comenzado a descender en la subregión
Andina y el Cono Sur, tras alcanzar niveles epidémicos en semanas previas, y se mantiene alta en algunos países de América
Central y en ascenso en algunos países del Caribe.
