      Synopsis: During week 19 (May 10-16, 2015), influenza activity continued to decrease in the United States.

      o Viral Surveillance : Of 6,553 specimens tested and reported by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories during week 19, 228 (3.5%) were positive for influenza.

      o Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was below the epidemic threshold.

      o Influenza-associated Pediatric Deaths: Three influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported, including two influenza-associated pediatric death s that occurred during the 2013-14 season.

      o Influenza-associated Hospitalizations: A cumulative rate for the season of 65.5 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations per 100,000 population was reported.

      o Outpatient Illness Surveillance : The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 1.3%, which is below the national baseline of 2.0%.
