Influenza Activity Synopsis:
During MMWR week 43 influenza activity in South Carolina generally decreased, with a slight increase in positive rapid tests. Flu activity is currently low. South Carolina reported SPRORADIC activity.

Laboratory surveillance:
* 138 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza were reported from 21 counties.
* 255 (56.7%) of all laboratory-confirmed cases this season are influenza A, 177 (39.3%) are influenza B, 12 (2.7%) are influenza A/B, and 6 (1.3%) are influenza unknown subtype.

ILI Activity (South Carolina baseline is 2.05%):
* The percentage of visits to sentinel providers for influenza-like illness (0.55%) was below South Carolina?s baseline. ILI percentages represent ILI activity reported by less than half of enrolled sentinel providers. Therefore, ILI percentages may not be representative of actual flu activity.

Hospitalizations:
* 13 laboratory confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations were reported. Since October 4, 2015, 63 laboratory confirmed influenza associated hospitalizations have been reported.

Deaths:
* No laboratory confirmed influenza-associated deaths were reported. Since October 4, 2015 five laboratory confirmed influenza associated deaths have been reported.

ILI Activity (South Carolina baseline is 2.05%):
* The percentage of visits to sentinel providers for influenzalike illness (0.25%) was below South Carolina?s baseline. ILI percentages represent ILI activity reported by less than half of enrolled sentinel providers. Therefore, ILI percentages may not be representative of actual flu activity.
