Re: Oregon Week 12 -No New Death - Total 79
Week 12:
Summary
There were only two hospitalizations and no deaths reported for the month of March.
Since September 1, 2009, 67 people have died from influenza (63 adults; 4 children). Of the four pediatric deaths, all had neuro-developmental conditions. Of the 65 deaths for whom information about medical conditions is known, 59 (91%) had one or more underlying conditions.
Oregon?s death rate for the entire pandemic period (since April, 2009) is 1.8 deaths per 100,000 Oregonians. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate the national rate of H1N1-related deaths from April ? February 13th to be 3.9 per 100,000.
ILINet rates of influenza-like illness (ILI) are significantly below expected for this time of year. Kaiser Permanente NW ILI levels decreased for the second week in a row.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity in Oregon decreased only slightly this week from the season high observed last week.
No seasonal influenza viruses have been detected at Oregon State Public Health Laboratory since October 2009.
