Arizona 2010-2011 Season: Weeks 40-39 (Sporadic)

Week 40: Sporadic

Arizona identified the first confirmed case of the 2010-2011 influenza season with no out-of-state travel history during week 39. The virus was confirmed by PCR as influenza A/H3. Two influenza B cases were also identified by PCR in the same week.

?One laboratory-confirmed case of influenza was reported in the past week from Pima County. In the previous week, three cases were confirmed from three counties; 1 was influenza A/H3; 2 were influenza B.
?No specimens tested positive for influenza at the state laboratory in the past week.
?No lab-confirmed influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been identified in the 2010-2011 season.
?The cases included in this report represent a small proportion of the true number of cases of influenza. Many people do not visit the doctor when ill and doctors should not be expected to run tests on all patients exhibiting influenza-like symptoms.
