Nebraska Influenza Surveillance Report 2019-20 Influenza Season, Week 18
(All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received.)
May 8, 2020
Synopsis for Week Ending May 2nd, 2020
The Nebraska influenza surveillance system is a collaborative effort between DHHS and its many partners in the state including, local health departments, public health and clinical laboratories, vital statistics offices, healthcare providers, clinics and emergency departments. Indicators from Nebraska's influenza surveillance systems (laboratory testing, sentinel provider visits, influenza hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and school absences due to illness) showed that influenza is circulating at very low levels across the state. NE is reporting "SPORADIC" activity level to the CDC's weekly influenza geographic spread estimates surveillance. This surveillance indicates geographic spread and does not measure the severity of influenza activity.

1 ILI: Influenza-like Illness is defined as a fever of 100? F as well as cough and/or sore throat 2 Hospitalizations due to ILI are voluntarily reported through a weekly survey of Nebraska hospitals 3 Visits due to ILI are collected by syndromic surveillance received from Nebraska hospitals 4 Percent school absence due to illness are reported through a weekly survey of Nebraska schools 5 Deaths in which influenza is listed on the death certificate and lab confirmed. This is an underestimate of influenza-related deaths Cumulative is 9/29/2019-current week

Laboratory Surveillance
Voluntary submission of isolates by clinical virology laboratories to the Nebraska Public Health Laboratory (NPHL) for influenza surveillance.
Reporting by Nebraska laboratories of positive test results and total number of respiratory virus specimens tested.
Influenza Diagnostic Testing
This surveillance system counts influenza diagnostic tests performed and if they are positive or negative. When there is little influenza circulating in the community, specimens that test positive on a rapid antigen test have a greater likelihood of being "false positive" and require careful clinical correlation. As influenza circulates more widely in the population, specimens that test positive are more likely to be "true positive" and reflect actual influenza infection.
83 of 87 hospital laboratories reported data for the past week. Of the 359 influenza diagnostic tests reported, 0.56% (n=2) were positive for influenza A and 0.28% (n=1) positive for influenza B.

Outpatient Surveillance--ILINet
Voluntary reporting by a statewide network of sentinel clinicians of the number of patients presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and the total number of patient visits by age group each week.
Sentinel Provider Surveillance: 10 of the 17 sentinel-site physician offices in Nebraska which are designated to track ILI reported data for the surveillance week. Of 1,030 total patient visits reported, 12 (1.17%) met ILI criteria.
