INFLUENZA!

Influenza is on the RISE and RSV remains steady with only a slight decrease over the past week. We are still seeing >10% of specimens positive (endemic levels), much later a season than last year. As for influenza, a very late and relatively mild season but we are seeing increasing numbers of Influenza A (mostly 2009 H1N1) and some Influenza B. Human metapneumovirus, so strong over the past few weeks is decreasing in numbers. Stay tuned.
