    Epidemiology/SurveillanceCurrent Influenza Surveillance, 20 May 2009 1100 EDT

    These data are considered provisional and preliminary and will not be officially released by the CDC until 1100 EDT.

    WHO/NREVSS Collaborating Laboratories (graph as of 5/19/2009) Seasonal influenza A (H1), A (H3), and B viruses co-

    circulated with novel influenza A (H1N1) viruses Influenza-associated Pediatric Deaths

    No new influenza-associated pediatric death were reported 2008-09 season total = 61 ILINet

    During week ending 5/16/2009, the percentage of ILIoutpatient visits was below the national baseline

    Overall, the percentage of outpatient visits for ILI remainsstable, based upon daily ILI reports from the US OutpatientInfluenza-like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet)

    122 Cities Mortality Reporting System (graph as of 5/19/2009) As weekly mortality reports continue to be received at CDC for week ending 5/9/2009, the percentage of pneumonia and influenzadeaths is not expected to be significantly elevated

    Percentage of deaths due to pneumonia and influenza remainsstable, based upon daily mortality reports from the 122 Cities

    Mortality Reporting System Geographic Spread of Influenza as Assessed by State andTerritorial Epidemiologists The influenza activity reported by state and territorial

    epidemiologists indicates geographic spread of both seasonalinfluenza and novel influenza A (H1N1) viruses and does notmeasure the severity of influenza activity.

    Eight states reported geographically widespread influenza activity,14 states reported regional activity, the District of Columbia and 15states reported local influenza activity; and 13 states reportedsporadic influenza activity.

    *Preliminary ILI data for week 19, as of May 19, 2009 (n=667 weekly ILI reports received from 47 states)

    There was no week 53 during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons, therefore the week 53 data point for those seasons is an average of weeks 52 and 1.
