the last week is often not very reliable at ISDS and often
corrected the next week.
And even if ILI had increased this week, it would not affect last
week's mortality, probably not even that of this week or next week
but maybe that of 2-4 weeks ahead
Week 47:
2 pediatric influenza-associated deaths from CA (Updated weekly from reports to the Influenza Division, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Since October 2, 2010, no influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2011-12 influenza season have been reported.)
P&I: 6.4%
Why have there been four pediatric deaths in California in the past two weeks? Does anyone know what strain they had, if they are clustered, or if they had other risk factors?

Thank you very much for your inquiry. It appears the report of 2 deaths you are referring to is from the CDC influenza website, but please note that these deaths were reporting as occurring during the 2010-11 influenza season (last season). Since the start of the 2011-12 influenza season in California we have not had any reports of deaths due to influenza in children. Our various surveillance activities have identified only a few cases of influenza throughout the state, and our level of outpatient visits and hospitalization for flu-like illness remain low. Our state laboratories are testing for any new influenza viruses, such as the recent S-Otr H3N2 virus identified in Iowa and other states, and have not found that this virus is circulating in California given the information available to us. Of course, as you are aware, influenza is unpredictable and activity could increase at any time! We will do our best to keep our website updated and to keep the public informed. Thank you and please don?t forget to get vaccinated!
