Abstract
United States of America (USA): During Epidemiological Week (EW) 42 (from 12–18 October 2003), the overall proportion of visits to sentinel providers by patients suffering from influenza-like illness (ILI) was 1.9%, a rate less than the national baseline of 2.5%. The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza was 6.3%. One State Health Department (Texas) reported widespread influenza activity; 5 states and New York City reported sporadic influenza activity; and 40 states and the District of Columbia reported no influenza activity.
