Summary:
 The estimated influenza activity in Missouri is Widespread2
.
 A total of 8,222 laboratory-positive3
influenza cases (4,885 influenza A, 3,318 influenza B, and 19 untyped) were
reported during Week 10. The season-to-date total of laboratory-positive influenza cases is 95,608 (46.7%
influenza A, 52.5% influenza B, and 0.8% untyped). Seven laboratory-positive cases of influenza (5 AH1N1 and
2 B/Victoria) were reported by the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory (MSPHL) during Week 10. The
percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in Missouri laboratories reporting to the
National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) decreased during Week 10 (Figure 6).
 Influenza-like illness (ILI) activity was above baseline for the Missouri Outpatient ILI Surveillance Network
(ILINet) and for the hospital emergency room visit chief complaint data reported through ESSENCE. The
reported percentage of visits for ILI was 10.80% (Figure 5) and 5.83% (Figure 7) through ILINet and ESSENCE
respectively.
4 The ILI data from a small number of sites located in the Northwest Region of the state is currently
unavailable in ESSENCE. Therefore, the ILI data for the Northwest Region should be interpreted with caution.
 A season-to-date total of 63 influenza-associated deaths have been reported in Missouri as of Week 10.

Week 9, 75 deaths involving Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) were reported to the Bureau of Vital Records,

 Eleven influenza outbreaks and seven school closures have been reported in Missouri as of Week 10.
 Seasonal influenza activity in the United States remained high but decreased for the third week in a row during
