Respiratory specimens from ILI and SARI cases were tested by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to determine influenza positivity and subtype and lineage. Aggregate counts of outpatient visits and hospitalizations were collected from hospital logbooks. Epidemiologic trends of influenza activity were described, and the proportional contribution of influenza\u2010associated ILI and SARI to outpatient and inpatient loads was estimated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Influenza was detected year\u2010round with positivity peaking during September through January and occurring in most years approximately 1\u2009month earlier in the south than the north. After decreasing in 2\u2009years following the emergence of SARS\u2010CoV\u20102, influenza positivity increased in 2022 and resumed its typical temporal trend. Influenza\u2010associated ILI contribution to outpatient visits was highest among children ages 5\u201314\u2009years (3.0% of all outpatient visits in 2023), and influenza\u2010associated SARI contribution to inpatient hospitalizations was highest among children ages 2\u20134\u2009years (2.2% of all hospitalizations in 2023).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Influenza surveillance in Lao PDR provides clinicians and public health authorities with information on geographic and temporal patterns of influenza transmission.
