Synopsis: During week 10 (March 4-10, 2012), influenza activity remained elevated in some areas of the United States, but influenza-like-illness continued to be relatively low nationally.
• U.S. Virologic Surveillance: Of the 4,742 specimens tested by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus SurveillanceSystem
• (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories and reported to CDC/Influenza Division, 1,099 (23.2%) were positive for influenza.
• Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) Mortality Surveillance: The proportion of deaths attributed to P&I was below the epidemic threshold.
• Influenza-associated Pediatric Mortality: No influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported.
• Outpatient Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 2.2%, which is below the national baseline of 2.4%. Regions 5, 7, and 10 reported ILI above region-specific baseline levels. Five states experienced high ILI activity; 1 state experienced moderate ILI activity; 11 states experienced low ILI activity; New York City and 33 states experienced minimal ILI activity, and the District of Columbia had insufficient data to calculate ILI activity.
• Geographic Spread of Influenza: Fifteen states reported widespread geographic activity; 22 states reported regional influenza activity; 3 states reported local activity; the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 10 states reported sporadic activity, and Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands reported no influenza activity.
