The %ILI in >5 to <50 yrs increased sharply in the past three weeks.

VA %ILI Week 4.png

pH1N1 is persisting along with some flu B and H3N2. If we assume that the AH1 unsubtyped is pH1N1 and that some of the Type A unk is pH1N1, then it could become the dominant strain over the next few weeks. It's not stated in the summary how many postive tests were received or what the percent positive tests is relative to all tests conducted. This chart is odd in that it shows relative percentages of different strains from all positive tests. I would assume that with increasing %ILI that more samples are tested and there is a higher %positive.

Re: Virginia 2010-2011 Season: Weeks 40-5 (Two Pediatric Death, Total 3)

Re: Virginia 2010-2011 Season: Weeks 40-5 (Two Pediatric Death, Total 3)

total of 2 pediatric deaths

Feb. 9, 2011 (Richmond, Va.) Cases of influenza have significantly increased in Virginia. In the past few weeks the intensity of influenza activity has risen from low to high. This means that more people are seeing their doctors for symptoms of influenza now than at any other time during this flu season, and people are at greater risk for catching the flu right now...

Not only are reported cases rising, but the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has sadly confirmed two pediatric flu-associated deaths in Virginia. Two to three pediatric flu-associated deaths are usually reported each year in Virginia. Nationally, 19 flu-related pediatric deaths have been reported this season to the Centers for Disease Control and Surveillance as of January 29, 2010...
