During 2009, there were 431,666 cases of infectious diseases in Serbia, which is a 22% increase compared to the year 2008. This is the largest number of cases of infectious diseases in the period 2005–2009 after an increasing 5-year trend (Fig. 16.1). This increase is mainly due to the 2009 pandemic influenza outbreak and other respiratory infections.
