Re: BC Ministry of Health Services- Reports and case counts

Weekly current & historical influenza activity reports for BC are found here in pdf format:

http://www.bccdc.org/content.php?item=35

(btw, BC tracks a lot of the ILI activity through the billing to our public health system as doctors code each patient visit when they bill it to the Ministry.)
 
Re: BC Ministry of Health Services- Reports and case counts

Report for weeks 20-22 is out
http://www.bccdc.org/downloads/pdf/epid/reports/InfluUpdate_Number23_Weeks20-22_0809.pdf

"Sentinel Physicians
During weeks 20-22, the proportion of patients
presenting to sentinel physicians with ILI decreased,
returning to the expected range for this time of year."

"MSP
Influenza illness as a proportion of all submitted BC
Medical Services Plan (MSP) claims also decreased
during weeks 20-22. As of June 11, activity levels
throughout the province, as measured by MSP claims,
have returned to levels near or below the historical
median."

BCCDC has revamped their website. Influenza surveillance reports are now found at:

Weeks 23 -24

Ongoing Circulation of Swine-Origin Influenza A/H1N1 in BC with
Some Sign of Increase in Community ILI Rates

Highlights
In weeks 23-24 (June 7-20), the proportion of patients
presenting to sentinel physicians with ILI increased
above the expected range for this time of year. A
similar increase was observed in Medical Services
Plan claims for influenza illness, particularly in the
lower mainland region. No ILI outbreaks were reported
during this period. One percent (5/385) of respiratory
specimens tested at the BC Provincial Laboratory
during weeks 23-24 were positive for human influenza
viruses, whereas 21% (79/385) were positive for
swine-origin influenza (s-oiv) H1N1, indicating an
increase in percentage of specimens positive for s-oiv
over the past 3 weeks. This suggests atypical
seasonality and continued s-oiv activity for which
further increase should be considered.
