My current H1N1 fatality count for 2013; Click on State for detailed thread.

Rajasthan: 134
Gujarat: 111
Haryana: 39
Punjab: 35
Uttar Pradesh : 23
Delhi : 16
Maharashtra : 14
Madhya Pradesh: 13
Chandigarh : 5
Himachal Pradesh : 4
Andhra Pradesh and Uttarakhand : 2 each
Jammu & Kashmir: 1 (and 1 flu B)
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Odisha : 1 each

Total: 402 H1N1, 1 B

Worth bearing in mind that a recent study estimated that, during the pandemic, confirmed fatalities in India represented only 2-3% of total H1N1 fatalities. Thus these confirmed H1N1 fatalities could represent between 12,500 and 18,100 actual deaths. Of course there are also other influenza types circulating, but statistics are not recorded.

Re: India Influenza 2013; 403 fatalities

A graphical representation of confirmed H1N1 fatalities in India so far this year in comparison to the first (Aug -Oct 2009), second (Nov 2009-Jan 2010) and third (July-Oct 2010) waves of the H1N1pdm09 pandemic. What is notable for this year so far is the confinement of the outbreak to northern India - Initially Rajasthan, Punjab & Haryana - now more recently Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh & Delhi. Very few cases from Maharashtra, Karnataka & the southern states. It remains to be seen as to whether a large monsoon wave will occur later in the year. Prophylactic immunization at this point might save lives later this year.

Re: India Influenza 2013; 530 fatalities

20 fatalities were reported during this week - Gujarat (10), Maharashtra (4), Rajasthan (4) and Madhya Pradesh (2). Reports of activity seem to be declining, but could be being masked by the volume of reporting on the H7N9 situation in China. In contrast, GISRS data below suggests an increasing trend.

Re: India Influenza 2013; 571 fatalities

12 fatalities were reported during this week - Gujarat (3), Maharashtra (3), Rajasthan (2) and Madhya Pradesh (4). Reports of activity seem to be declining, but could be being masked by the volume of reporting on the H7N9 situation in China. Further cases of H1N1 were reported from West Bengal. The only state actively releasing influenza data on the internet is Rajasthan which means that data is mostly reliant on news reports. The GISRS data below suggests a decreasing trend.

Re: India Influenza 2013; 595 fatalities

Absent any form of national or state generated influenza surveillance data, media reports are the main source of information. 5 fatalities were reported during this week - Gujarat (1), Maharashtra (1), Chhattisgarh (1), Rajasthan (1) and Madhya Pradesh (1). All indications are that activity is declining. Chhattisgarh reported its first fatality of the year. The GISRS data below suggests a decreasing trend. Unless something unusual happens, I will not update this thread until the beginning of the Monsoon wave in about ten weeks time. I will continue to update the individual state threads as needed.
