    • Description:
      All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received.

      Synopsis: During week 18 (April 29-May 5, 2012), influenza activity declined nationally and in most regions, but remained elevated in some areas of the United States.

      o U.S. Virologic Surveillance: Of the 2,118 specimens tested by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories and reported to CDC/Influenza Division, 291 (13.7%) were positive for influenza.

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

      o Influenza-Associated Pediatric Mortality: Two influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported. One was associated with an influenza B virus and 1 was associated with an influenza A virus for which the subtype was not determined.

      o Outpatient Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 1.4%, which is below the national baseline of 2.4%. All regions reported ILI below region-specific baseline levels. Two states experienced low ILI activity; New York City and 48 states experienced minimal ILI activity, and the District of Columbia had insufficient data to calculate ILI activity.

      o Geographic Spread of Influenza: Two states reported widespread geographic activity; 8 states reported regional influenza activity; 12 states reported local activity; the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 28 states reported sporadic activity, and Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands reported no influenza activity.
