Re: Taiwan CDC: Week 53
Week 53:
"In Taiwan, a total of 684 notifiable infectious disease cases were reported last week, and among those 358 were acute and 326 were chronic; 19 cases died. As for the clustering on disease outbreaks, 5 outbreak events were reported (1 was Acute Hepatitis and 4 were Diarrhea).
Last week, 38 more confirmed cases of indigenous dengue fever broke out, a total of 843 indigenous dengue cases were confirmed, and 18.7% were geographically linked to Siaokang District and 32.6% in Cianjhen District, Kaohsiung City. As to the mosquito disease vector indices, those of Kaohsiung City and Tainan County are higher than others and all exceed the critical threshold.
International epidemic: Cholera, rabies, and yellow fever broke out last week in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Ivory Coast. Dengue Fever broke out in Southeast Asia countries. Taiwan CDC reminds all travelers to these areas to take adequate precaution and preventive measures.
In conclusion, according to Taiwan CDC surveillance data there were easing trend of the novel influenza A (H1N1) infections and indigenous dengue fever last week. However, the third wave of novel influenza A (H1N1) infections and the effect of slowly H1N1 vaccinated are unpredictable; health authorities should still take close attention on the epidemic situation. The domestic epidemic alert index of this week is, therefore, kept at red warning light signal."

During week 53 (December 27, 2009–January 2, 2010), influenza activity unchanged in Taiwan.
Of the 216 specimens tested during week 51–53, 65 (30%) were positive for influenza viruses,
and 61 (28%) were positive for pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses; 98% (95% confidence
interval 91%–100%) of all subtyped influenza A viruses were pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses.
Since July 1, 2009, there has been 852 reports of complicated pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus
infections (35 deaths). There were 21 new complicated pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza
cases during week 53.
The number of deaths mentioning pneumonia and influenza during week 52 was 248, which
was below the number for this time of last year (274 deaths).
The rate of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness, as of December 29, 2009, is 1.43% and
has increased by 1% compared with the previous week
During week 51–53, 98% (95% confidence interval 91%–100%) subtyped influenza A viruses being reported to Taiwan CDC through contracted laboratories during this period were pandemic (H1N1)2009 viruses..
Taiwan CDC has antigenically characterized 104 human influenza viruses [1 influenza A (H1), 23 influenza A (H3), 7 influenza B, 73 pandemic (H1N1) 2009] since June1, 2009. None of the influenza seasonal A (H1) viruses tested was related to the influenza A (H1N1) component of the 2009–10 influenza vaccine (A/Brisbane/59/2007). Three (13%) of the influenza A (H3N2)viruses tested were related to the A (H3N2) vaccine component (A/Brisbane/10/2007). Four (57%) of the influenza B viruses tested belonged to the B/Victoria lineage and were related to the B component of the 2009–10 influenza vaccine B/Brisbane/60/2008.

Nationwide during week 53 (as of December 29, 2009), 1.43% of outpatient visits reported through the National Health Insurance Database were due to influenza-like illness (ILI). This rate has increased by1% compared with the previous week (1.41%).Nationwide during week 53, 11.88% of emergency room patient visits reported through the Real-time Outbreak and Disease Surveillance System (RODS) were due to ILI.
