Influenza activity highlights:
? 2,803 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza were reported in the past week; this includes 1,588 laboratory-confirmed cases of 2009 H1N1 influenza.
? 100% of subtyped influenza viruses at the Arizona State Laboratory during the previous week were 2009 H1N1 influenza virus
? 1 pneumonia and influenza (P&I) death was identified from death certificates in the past week; 13 P&I deaths were identified in the week prior to last week; 33 P&I deaths have been identified during the 2009-2010 influenza season; 880 pneumonia and influenza deaths were identified during the 2008-2009 influenza season
? 18 deaths associated with lab-confirmed 2009 H1N1 influenza virus were identified in the previous week; 64 deaths associated with the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus have been identified since April 2009.
? 2 lab-confirmed influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported in the past week and 5 deaths have been reported for the current season. All reported deaths were confirmed to be associated with the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus.
? 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.
