    2016 Influenza Season, Week 18, ending 8 May 2016


    During week 18 (2?8 May 2016), influenza activity was very low among those consultation-seeking
    patients nationwide. Influenza activity was also very low among those hospitalised patients in Auckland
    and Counties Manukau District Health Boards.

     Influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) surveillance

    ILI surveillance: There were 28 patients with influenza-like illness consulted sentinel general
    practices in 20 DHBs. The weekly ILI incidence was 6.9 per 100 000 patient population (Figure 1),
    below the seasonal threshold of ILI consultations. The ILI related influenza incidence was 0.0
    per 100 000 patient population.

    SARI surveillance: There were 2706 acute admissions to ADHB and CMDHB hospitals this week. Of
    the 108 patients with suspected respiratory infections, 35 (32.4%) patients met the SARI case
    definition. Two SARI cases have been admitted to ICU and one SARI related death was reported. The
    weekly SARI incidence was 2.8 per 100 000 population. The SARI related influenza incidence was 0.0
    per 100 000 population.

     Respiratory pathogen surveillance

    Influenza virus: During this week, 20 ILI specimens were tested, none were positive for influenza
    viruses. In addition, 20 SARI specimens were tested, none were positive for influenza viruses. For
    details, see Table 3.

                        Community and Hospital Surveillance
                        ILI, SARI, Influenza and Respiratory Pathogens
                        2016 Influenza Season, Week 29, ending 24 July 2016


                        During week 29 (18?24 July 2016), influenza activity was very low among consultation-seeking patients
                        nationwide. Influenza activity was also very low among those hospitalised patients in Auckland and
                        Counties Manukau District Health Boards.

                         Influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) surveillance
                        ILI surveillance: Ninety-six patients with influenza-like illness consulted sentinel general practices in
                        20 DHBs. The weekly ILI incidence was 18.2 per 100 000 patient population (Figure 1), below the
                        seasonal threshold of ILI consultations. The ILI related influenza incidence (adjusted) was 6.7
                        per 100 000 patient population.

                        SARI surveillance: There were 2661 acute admissions to ADHB and CMDHB hospitals this week. Of
                        the 187 patients with suspected respiratory infections, 85 (45.5%) patients met the SARI case
                        definition. Five SARI cases were admitted to ICU and no SARI related deaths were reported. The
                        weekly SARI incidence was 6.5 per 100 000 population. The SARI related influenza incidence was 0.2
                        per 100 000 population.

                         Respiratory pathogen surveillance
                        Influenza virus: During this week, 38 ILI specimens were tested, 14 were positive for influenza
                        viruses. In addition, 46 SARI specimens were tested, three were positive for influenza viruses. For
                        details, see Table 3 and Figures 5 and 6.

                        Non-influenza respiratory viruses: For cumulative totals, see Table 4 and Figures 7 and 8.

                              definition. Five SARI cases were admitted to ICU and no SARI related deaths were reported. The
                              weekly SARI incidence was 6.2 per 100 000 population. The SARI related influenza incidence was 0.8
                              per 100 000 population.

                               Respiratory pathogen surveillance
                              Influenza virus: During this week, 35 ILI specimens were tested, 18 were positive for influenza
                              viruses. In addition, 40 SARI specimens were tested, eight were positive for influenza viruses. For
