.67% of patient visits to SC ILNet providers were due to ILI. The state ILI increased slightly, but remains well below the regional (2.0%) and national (2.3%) baselines. This ILI percentage compares to .35% this time last year.

Re: South Carolina: 2009-2010 Flu Season End Report

Re: South Carolina: 2009-2010 Flu Season End Report

...The trends observed in SC were similar to those seen nationally. More than 74% of specimens tested by WHO and NREVSS labs were 2009 H1N1. Another 25% were influenza A viruses that were either unsubtyped or unsubtypeable. Less than 0.5% of positive specimens were seasonal H1N1, H3N2, and B...

Sentinel providers reported 318,341 total patient visits. 5,306 of these visits were for ILI. Of these, 1,061 reports were in 0-4 yr olds, 3,048 in 5-24 yr olds, 859 in 25-49 yr olds, 281 in 50-64 yr olds and 57 in individuals older than 64 yrs...

From September 1, 2009 to June 26, 2010, 1,091 lab confirmed influenza hospitalizations were reported. Nearly 22% of these were in children under the age of 5. The number of weekly influenza hospitalizations peaked at 103 during the first week of the season. Figure 9 shows the distribution of hospitalizations and deaths by MMWR week. The 0-4 year old age group had the highest hospitalization rate (78.21), followed by 5-18 year olds (22.49)...

From September 1, 2009 through June 26, 2010, 49 influenza associated deaths were reported. The majority (46.9%) of these were in adults age 50-64 years. Another 26% of deaths occurred in adults age 25-49. The death case rate was highest (2.67) in the 50-64 age group. The 0-4 age group had the second highest case rate (1.65).
