During CDC Week 6, the proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI)1 was 4.05%, and ILI activity remained elevated. Febrile Respiratory Illness at Great Lake Naval Academy was at or below expected value for week 6. Individuals aged 5 to 24 years had the highest proportion of office visits related to ILI for week 6. During week 6, four (15%) of the specimens tested by Illinois Department of Public Health laboratory tested positive for influenza.
