All H1N1pdm09 sequences from Texas and Mexico collected since late January, 2012 have H274Y.
Nationally, the proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza for EW 17 (6.9%) was below the epidemic threshold for this time of year (7.6%). In EW 17, two pediatric deaths associated with influenza were reported (one with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, and one with influenza A(H3)).
Among all samples tested during EW 17 (n=2,886), the percentage of samples positive for influenza (15.3%)continued to decrease. Nationally, among the positive samples, 67.9% were influenza A [among the subtyped influenza A viruses, mainly influenza A(H3N2)] and 32.1% were influenza B, and the proportion of B virus detections has been increasing. Of the antigenically characterized influenza B viruses (n=203), 41.9% were of the B/Victoria lineage, which is included in the 2011-12 Northern Hemisphere vaccine, and 58.1% were of the B/Yamagata lineage.
In total, 1.5% (n=16) of the influenza A(pdm)09 viruses tested this season have been resistant to oseltamivir.
