Characteristics of Recent Influenza Viruses Tested at CDC Of 644 U.S. viruses antigenically characterized at CDC since October 1, 2010: 85 (13%) Influenza A (H1N1) 85 (100%) A/California/7/2009-like 348 (54%) Influenza A (H3N2) 345 (99%) A/Perth/16/2009-like 211 (33%) Influenza B 199 (94%) Victoria lineage; 198 (99%) B/Brisbane/60/2008-like 12 (6%) Yamagata lineage High level resistance to adamantanes persists among Influenza A isolates; A(H1N1), A(H3N2) and B virus isolates tested remain susceptible to neuraminidase inhibitors

2007-08 Number of Deaths Reported = 88 2008-09 Number of Deaths Reported = 133 2009-10 Number of Deaths Reported = 282 Deaths Reported Current WeekDeaths Reported Previous Week 2010-11 Number of Deaths Reported = 35 Number of Influenza-Associated Pediatric Deaths by Week of Death: 2007-08 season to present

Key Points Influenza A(H3N2), A(H1N1), and B strains continue to co-circulate in the U.S. Recently characterized strains appear to be well- matched to the recommended 2010-2011 seasonal vaccine Recently circulating viruses remain susceptible to neuraminidase inhibitors In the U.S., influenza activity remains high in recent weeks Increase in proportion of influenza A viruses identified as A(H1N1) since the beginning of the U.S. season
