Influenza activity is increasing in Iowa.
This includes three cases of a novel influenza strain in children in Webster and Hamilton counties. This virus, an influenza A/H3N2 recombinant virus, has also been detected in Pennsylvania, Maine, and Indiana in recent months and contains components of human, avian, H1N1, and swine influenza. All spread in Iowa has been human to human, and spread appears to be limited; no further cases have been identified in the last week.

I saw the following statement on page 2 in the Week 3, Week 5 and Week 6 reports from Iowa and yet the page 1 summaries indicate no pediatric fatalities.

Influenza‐associated Pediatric Mortality: One influenza‐associated pediatric death was reported and was associated with an influenza B virus.
In the reports from Week 52, Week 1, Week 2, and Week 4, the report states:

Influenza‐associated Pediatric Mortality: No influenza‐associated pediatric deaths were reported.
