"In March and April 1998 the number of deaths [in the Netherlands] was higher than usual. In these months the excess mortality was about 1,400. Around 25 April the number of daily deaths was back to normal.... It is assumed that the large number of deaths is related to the increased incidence of influenza, which lasted from mid-February until mid-April." (EXCERPT)
