Using three seasons of virologic ILI surveillance data (2014/2015 to 2016/2017), we used the MEM method to make calculations using the composite parameter recommended by WHO [20] ; this method estimates the proportion of laboratory-confirmed influenza ILI consultations among all outpatient consultations, or the product of weekly ILI consultations of total outpatient visits and weekly percentage of influenzapositive specimens among respiratory tests. Whichever method is used, analysis of surveillance data will provide information about seasonal thresholds and epidemic curves that may help health care personnel in the clinical management of respiratory illness after the start of influenza season.	./cache/cord-028048-0oqv2jom.txt	./txt/cord-028048-0oqv2jom.txt
