Two Children in New York State Die From Influenza, Is an Outbreak Headed to Your City?

2/11/08

Quote:
Two children died from influenza in New York in the past two weeks, just as 11 states reported widespread flu activity across the U.S.

The victims were a 7-month-old infant and a 7-year-old who were from the New York counties of Monroe and Orange, respectively. The two tested positive for the influenza A and influenza B strains of the virus.
Although this debilitating seasonal scourge usually peaks in mid-February, this year health officials are already on alert.

The complications seen in recent years, such as the rise in pediatric flu deaths with bacterial infections, have been compounded by concerns of a drug-resistant strain that has cropped up in various countries. While the season has not been severe thus far, flu experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not taking any chances.
“We are intensifying our surveillance for these resistant strains,” said Dr. Joseph Bresee, chief of the epidemiology and prevention branch in the CDC's influenza division. “So we’re requesting that more samples are sent to CDC to see if this is changing and becoming more common.”

That is so sad to hear.

I think the whole country has been hit HARD this past month...I know in one of my kids' school classes there were 9 out of 19 kids out yesterday.

I'm hoping our flu shots we got will keep the bad ones away.
