Since September 29, 2013, no influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2013-14 influenza season have been reported. Since September 30, 2012, 169 influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2012-13 influenza season have been reported.

Two influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2012-13 influenza season have been reported from OH and NM during MMWR week 44.

Novel influenza A virus infections: none reported for this week

Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus: 0 this week, 157 cumulative for 2013, 134 in 2012, 82 in 2011, 91 in 2010, 78 in 2009, 63 in 2008
Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: 0 for this year, 2 in 2012, 0 in 2011, 2 in 2010, 0 in 2009, 1 in 2008

Difference between Vancomycin-Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) and Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA):
If large doses of vancomycin might still be able to kill the S. aureus, it is called Vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA). If no amount of vancomycin will kill the S. aureus, it is called Vancomycin-resistant S.aureus (VRSA).

Week 45, ending Nov 9

Influenza-Associated Pediatric Mortality:
Two influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during week 45. One was associated with an influenza A and B virus coinfection and occurred during week 43 (week ending October 26, 2013) and one was associated with an influenza A virus for which no subtyping was performed and occurred during week 42 (week ending October 19, 2013). A total of two influenza-associated pediatric deaths for the 2013-2014 season have been reported. 2 = FL (1), AR (1)

No novel influenza A virus infections were reported this week.

One case of Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus was reported this week (Ohio).

For those who don't know what Babesiosis is, here is a description from Encyclopedia Britanica: Any of a group of tick-borne diseases of animals caused by species of Babesia, protozoans that destroy red blood cells and thereby cause anemia. Cattle tick fever, from B. bigemina, occurs in cattle, buffalo, and zebu. Other Babesia species attack cattle, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, swine, and dogs. Wild animals such as deer, wolves, foxes, wildcats, and pumas are susceptible to infections from certain Babesia species

Here's a CDC report from last year on Babesiosis surveillance

**************************

Note: I changed the title to show both deaths were reported this week but only one was for this season.

Influenza-Associated Pediatric Mortality

Two influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during week 50. One death was associated with a 2009 H1N1 virus and occurred during the week ending December 14, 2013 (week 50). A total of four influenza-associated pediatric deaths for the 2013-2014 season have been reported.

One death was associated with an influenza A virus for which no subtyping was performed and occurred during the 2012-13 season. This death brings the total number of reported pediatric deaths for that season to 170.
