The article presents epidemiological data characterizing the development of the influenza A epidemic in Kazakhstan. The rates of increase and decrease of influenza morbidity are shown. During most of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022), influenza circulation in Kazakhstan and neighbouring Russia declined, but then returned with higher transmission rates in autumn 2022. While H3N2 strains dominated the 2022-2023 season as a whole, in autumn 2022, A/H1N1 pdm09 strains dominated in Russia. В December 2022 г. we detected the strain /Karaganda/ 06/2022 (H1N1) pdm09 in the nasopharyngeal swab of a patient (age=3 years, 3 months, sex=male) admitted to the Infectious Disease Centre of the Regional Clinical Hospital of Karaganda city with clinical symptoms of respiratory disease. A detailed description of this clinical case in a child is given.
