Week 27:
No new pediatric deaths; total 4
No outbreaks reported
One specimen tested by NREVSS laboratories in Texas was positive for influenza. No specimens were positive for influenza by PCR test or viral culture. All other positive tests were antigen detection tests.
The percentage of visits for influenza-like illness as reported by ILINet providers was 2.98%.
All Health Service Regions (HSRs) except one reported. HSR 2/3 reported a decreased level of flu activity compared to week 26.
