    Nov. 5, 2012 Advisory:
    Influenza has officially arrived in Maine. The first two positive influenza A cases were detected by Affiliated Laboratory Inc. early last week. These cases were in a young adult from Aroostook county and a teenager from Penobscot county. Neither patient was vaccinated, had recent travel, or required hospitalization. A long term care facility in Penobscot reported an outbreak of influenza on October 31. Maine?s Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory (HETL) confirmed influenza A in an employee and a resident from the facility on Friday November 2. HETL typed all 4 samples as seasonal influenza A (H3). Influenza A (2009 H1N1), influenza A (H3), and influenza B are all currently circulating nationally.

    What is Novel Influenza (Flu)?A new (novel) flu virus is one that causes human infection but is different from the seasonal flu viruses that spread among people each year. People usually do not have immunity to novel flu viruses and a vaccine may not be quickly available.Novel flu viruses usually come from animal flu viruses. Animal flu viruses do not normally infect people, but in rare cases, especially when people have close contact with animals, infections occur.
