The study aimed to characterize the flu seasons from 2018 to 2023 in Sarajevo Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;amp;H), and to assess the possible impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the influenza A and B virus circulation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;\/strong&gt; The CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panels were used for the detection of influenza virus A and B, and subtyping of influenza virus A (H1pdm09 virus and H3). The data for this regis-try-based retrospective study were collected at the Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo, Unit for Clinical Microbiology (the laboratory that acts as a referral for the detection and characterization of influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 in Federation B&amp;amp;H).&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;\/strong&gt; In the 2018\/2019 and 2019\/2020, an equal percentage of positive cases was recorded (148\/410; 36%, and 182\/504; 36%, respectively). The absence of the influenza virus was observed in 2020\/2021. During 2021\/2022, influenza virus was detected among 19\/104 (18%) patients and slightly increased in 2022\/2023 (45\/269; 17%). The switch of the influenza B virus lineage was observed.&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;\/strong&gt; The SARS-CoV-2 virus had an impact on the prevalence of influenza virus infection among the population of the Sarajevo Canton, B&amp;amp;H. Since the interactions between these two viruses are not entirely clear, awareness of a possible threat to public health is crucial.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17392\/1721-21-02","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T10:10:27Z","timestamp":1724321427000},"page":"302-308","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Flu seasons during the period 2018-2023 in Sarajevo Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina: possible impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the influenza A and B virus circulation"],"prefix":"10.17392","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2919-4163","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Almedina","family":"Moro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amela","family":"Dedei\u0107 Ljubovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]},{"name":"Faculty of Health Studies, University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]},{"name":"Sarajevo School of Science and Technology","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edina","family":"Zahirovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]},{"name":"Faculty of Health Studies, University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Selma","family":"Muteveli\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suzana","family":"Arap\u010di\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Goran","family":"\u010cerkez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Ministry of Health","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Irma","family":"Salimovi\u0107-Be\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit for Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]},{"name":"Faculty of Health Studies, University of Sarajevo","place":["Sarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"49509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,1]]},"container-title":["Medicinski Glasnik"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/medicinskiglasnik.ba\/article\/1967\/pdf\/download","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/medicinskiglasnik.ba\/article\/1967\/pdf\/download","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,6]],"date-time":"2026-04-06T09:45:18Z","timestamp":1775468718000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/medicinskiglasnik.ba\/article\/id\/474\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17392\/1721-21-02","archive":["Internet Archive"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1840-0132","1840-0132"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1840-0132","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1840-0132","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,1]]}}}
