? During Week 5, a total of 10,550 laboratory-positive influenza cases (6,170 influenza A, 4,162 influenza B, and
218 untyped) were reported. A season-to-date total of 79,362 laboratory-positive influenza cases (59,390
influenza A, 18,906 influenza B, and 1,066 untyped) have been reported in Missouri as of Week 5. The influenza
type for reported season-to date cases includes 75% influenza A, 24% influenza B, and 1% untyped. Fifteen
laboratory-positive cases of influenza (eight influenza A (H3), four influenza A (H1N1), and three influenza B
(Yamagata)) were reported by the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory (MSPHL) during Week 5.
? Influenza-like illness (ILI) activity was above baseline for both the Missouri Outpatient ILI Surveillance Network
(ILINet) and the hospital emergency room visit chief complaint data reported through ESSENCE. The reported
percentage of visits for ILI was 10.23% (Figure 5) and 7.56% (Figure 7) through ILINet and ESSENCE
respectively.
The ILI data from a small number of sites located in the Northwest Region of the state is
temporarily unavailable in ESSENCE. Therefore, the ILI data for the Northwest Region should be interpreted
with caution. The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in Missouri laboratories
reporting to the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) decreased during Week 5
(Figure 6).
? One hundred and four influenza-associated deaths have been reported in Missouri as of Week 5.
During Week 4,
142 deaths involving Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) were reported to the Bureau of Vital Records, resulting in a

? Fifty-nine outbreaks of influenza or ILI have been reported and seven influenza or ILI-associated school closures
have been reported in Missouri as of Week 5.
? Influenza activity increased in the U.S. during Week 4. National influenza surveillance information is prepared
by CDC and is included in the weekly FluView report, which is available online at
