Novel influenza:
-
Eighteen confirmed cases of influenza A H3N2v infection
have been reported since June, 2013. Michigan reported the two most recent
cases in the last month. Since being first identified in the United States,
CDC has reported 327 cases and one fatality.
-
No cases of H3N2v infection have been reported in
Florida. More information can be found at:
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/swineflu/h3n2v-cases.htm . The H3N2v strain
originates from influenza that circulates in pigs. Nearly all people
infected with H3N2v have reported direct or indirect contact with swine. No
sustained human to human transmission has been identified.

time of year.
-
In the Panhandle, Central, and South Florida, ILI
visits decreased in the current week.
-
In the Northeast, ED and UCC visits for ILI
increased in the current week.
-
In weeks 35 and 36, no specimens were submitted for
