Re: California 2011-2012 Flu Season: Weeks 40-10 (One Pediatric, One Adult Death; Total 11)
Week 10: Widespread
1 pediatric (under 5 years), 1 adult (51-64 years) death reported; total 11
CDPH received six reports of laboratory-confirmed influenza outbreaks in week 10; all at congregate living facilities. Four were associated with influenza A (H3) and occurred in the southern and San Francisco bay area regions and two were associated with influenza A (2009 H1N1) and occurred in the San Francisco bay area region.
Outpatient influenza-like illness (ILI) was down 0.5% in week 10 (3.1%) compared to week 9 (3.6%).
Of 1865 specimens tested during week 10, 509 (27.3%) were positive for influenza; of these 73 (14.3%) were influenza B and 436 (85.7%) were influenza A. 102 (23.4%) were subtyped as seasonal A (H3), 46 (10.6%) were subtyped as 2009 A (H1), and 288 (66.1%) were not subtyped.
No resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors has been identified in 60 influenza isolates tested during the 2011-2012 influenza season.
Eighty-two specimens from California residents have been strain-typed this season; all but eight influenza B strains match the 2011-12 influenza vaccine.
