During the week of May 9-May 15, 2010, nationally all key flu indicators are low. Activity levels at this time are similar to what is usually seen during the U.S. summer months.

International Situation Update

This report provides an update to the international flu situation using data collected through May 16, 2010, and reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 21.

WHO continues to report laboratory-confirmed 2009 H1N1 flu deaths on its web page.  These fatal cases are an under-representation of the actual numbers as many deaths are never tested or recognized as influenza related.

The most active areas of 2009 H1N1 influenza transmission are in the tropical regions of the Caribbean, South America, and Southeast Asia. Seasonal influenza B viruses, in addition to 2009 H1N1, are being reported in parts of Southeast Asia.  Influenza B viruses are the main influenza viruses in East Asia. 

Influenza activity is relatively low in most parts of the temperate northern and southern hemispheres, except for Chile, which has localized increases in ILI.  Both 2009 H1N1 and seasonal B viruses are being detected in Europe.  Transmission of 2009 H1N1 in Sub-Saharan Africa appears to have dropped markedly.

For more information about the international situation, see the CDC H1N1 Flu International Situation page.
