In the week of 3‑9 November, Italy’s RespiVirNet surveillance recorded a stable incidence of acute respiratory infections at 7.64 cases per 1,000, unchanged from the previous bulletin. The week added about 435,000 new cases, bringing the cumulative total since the season’s start to 1,737,057. The highest incidence remains in the 0‑4 age group, with roughly 23 cases per 1,000. Incidence levels are low or baseline across all regions. In community samples, influenza positivity stayed steady, SARS‑CoV‑2 declined, and RSV remained low; Rhinovirus, influenza, and adenovirus showed the highest positivity (7.3 %, 6.7 %, 15.6 % respectively). The hospital samples reported the highest rhinovirus rates, followed by SARS‑CoV‑2, especially in those 65+. Vaccination campaigns for COVID‑19 and influenza target all people over 60. The report notes a change in case definition from influenza‑like illness to acute respiratory infection, aligning with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
