[3] reported the results of a multicenter prospective observational study on SARI and pneumonia in Korean adult patients who visited the emergency room with acute respiratory illness during the 2011-2014 flu seasons. Notably, the authors used the new category of "modified SARI." The World Health Organization (WHO) case definitions for ILI and SARI include the requirement of measured fever of ≥38°C and presence of cough [4] . Fever is often masked in elderly or immunocompromised patients. Cough may not be a prominent symptom. Therefore, when SARI is used for surveillance, a substantial portion of influenza-related admissions are inevitably missed even if pneumonia or serious non-pneumonic complications are combined. Hence, the authors proposed the category of modified SARI, which included non-ILI laboratory confirmed influenza-related admissions as well as classical SARI defined using the classical WHO case definitions. Of 649 influenza-related admissions, 68 (10.5%) did not meet the ILI definition. Those cases included substantial numbers of cases of serious
