Re: Louisiana 2010-2011 Season: Weeks 40-52 (Widespread)

Hat tip Missouriwatcher

Week 52 ( from 12/26/2010-1/1/2011)

- Big jump in doctors' visits from week 51 to 52, about 4% , now approching 10%

- Considerably higher than the National Data Summary where the proportion for outpatients visits for ILI was 2.6%.

-Hospitalisations, about 1% increase, now at 6%.

If you look at the National Lab Data, 65.9% is Influenza A,
34.1% Influenza B.

As mentioned by Missouriwatcher, Louisiana has 80% Influenza B

From The National Data Summary, there was one influenza-associated pediatric death reported with an Influenza B virus infection.
