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."

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

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.
