Three new reported deaths since the last issue, and the total mortality due to H1N1 related illness is at thirty-nine. Of the thirty-nine, twenty-four were female, and fifteen were male. The median age was forty-seven, with a range of one to eighty years. Of the thirty-nine, thirty-three had underlying medical conditions.
"Although close to 99.7% of the specimens that tested positive for influenza were positive for novel H1N1 influenza A, that is not all that was going on in the lab. The lab also saw circulation of other pathogens that were not influenza related.
Mortality due to H1N1 influenza rose from mid-August to a peak during the last week of October and the first week of November, dropping
quickly after that in Kentucky. The number of deaths attributed to
H1N1 influenza has dropped precipitously since then and remains low to date. There have been no deaths reported since the first week of January."
Kentucky's current flu activity level is sporadic. Sporadic flu activity is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as small numbers of laboratory-confirmed influenza cases or a single laboratory-confirmed influenza outbreak has been reported, but there is no increase in cases of influenza-like illness.
