During week 48 (November 27 - December 3, 2016), influenza activity increased slightly, but remained low in the United States.
  • Viral Surveillance:The most frequently identified influenza virus subtype reported by public health laboratories during week 48 was influenza A (H3). The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in clinical laboratories remained low.

  • 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 1.8%, which is below the national baseline of 2.2%. Two regions reported ILI at or above their region-specific baseline levels. Puerto Rico experienced high ILI activity, New York City and four states experienced low ILI activity, 46 states experienced minimal ILI activity, and the District of Columbia had insufficient data.
  • Geographic Spread of Influenza:The geographic spread of influenza in Puerto Rico was reported as widespread; Guam and two states were reported as regional; 19 states reported local activity; the U.S. Virgin Islands and 28 states reported sporadic activity; one state reported no activity; and the District of Columbia did not report.
