2 Hospitalized Influenza Surveillance Hospitalized influenza cases are based on disease reports of laboratory-positive influenza (via DFA, IFA, viral culture, EIA, rapid test, paired serological tests or RT-PCR) and specimens from hospitalized patients with acute respiratory illness submitted to MDH-PHL by hospitals and laboratories. Due to the need to confirm reports and reporting delays, consider current and recent s data preliminary.

7 Laboratory Surveillance The MN Lab System (MLS) Laboratory Influenza Surveillance Program is made up of more than 31 clinic- and hospital-based laboratories, voluntarily submitting testing data ly. These laboratories perform rapid testing for influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Significantly fewer labs perform PCR testing for influenza and three also perform PCR testing for other respiratory viruses. MDH-PHL provides further characterization of submitted influenza isolates to determine the hemagglutinin serotype to indicate vaccine coverage. Tracking the laboratory results assists healthcare providers with patient diagnosis of influenza-like illness and provides an indicator of the progression of the influenza season as well as prevalence of disease in the community.

11 Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report Current: Week Ending October 1, 21 WEEK 4 National Influenza Surveillance (CDC) Viral Surveillance: The most frequently identified influenza virus type reported by public health laboratories in 4 was influenza A viruses, with influenza A (H3) viruses predominating. The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in clinical laboratories is low. Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was below their system-specific epidemic threshold in both the NCHS Mortality Surveillance System and the 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System. Influenza-associated Pediatric Deaths: No influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported. Outpatient Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 1.2%, which is below the national baseline of 2.1%. All 1 regions reported ILI below region-specific baseline levels. Georgia experienced low ILI activity; Puerto Rico, New York City and 47 states experienced minimal ILI activity; and the District of Columbia and two states had insufficient data. Geographic Spread of Influenza: The geographic spread of influenza in Guam was reported as widespread; one state reported regional activity; one state reported local activity; Puerto Rico and 27 states reported sporadic activity; the U.S. Virgin Islands and 21 states reported no influenza activity; and the District of Columbia did not report. 11
