Influenza
Weekly Report: Influenza Summary Update - December 29
During week 51 (December 17 – December 23, 2006), influenza activity increased in the United States. Among specimens tested by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories for influenza, 10.1% were positive. Four states reported widespread influenza activity; twelve states reported regional influenza activity; five states and the District of Columbia reported local influenza activity; 25 states and New York City reported sporadic influenza activity; one state reported no influenza activity, and three states did not report. The reporting of widespread or regional influenza activity increased from 12 states for week 50 to 17 states for week 51. On a national level, laboratory and outpatient influenza-like illness (ILI) surveillance data indicated an increase from week 49 to week 51, and ILI was above baseline for the second consecutive week this season. One influenza-associated pediatric death was reported during week 51. However, the percent of deaths due to pneumonia and influenza remained below baseline level.
