What's Going ’Round Right Now?
CAP No. 21093-30
CLIA No. 45D0927522
Urgent updates about viral activity
will be posted here.
1/29/2008 - Influenza (FLU) activity
is increasing, with most isolates type A and a small
number type B. FLU is expected to peak within the next
2 to 4 weeks.
RSV activity persists but appears to be declining as
FLU activity increases.
Recent results of CDC FLU A subtyping of Houston/TCH
Diagnostic Virology Lab influenza A viruses isolated
during November and December 2007 were all typed
A/BRISBANE/10/2007-LIKE (H3N2)
which is a new genetic/antigenic variant not in the
current flu vaccine. The current flu vaccine contains
A/Wisconsin/67/2005, from which the circulating FLU
A strain A/BRISBANE/10/2007-LIKE (H3N2) evolved recently.
Stay tuned for more updates on FLU activity and subtyping
of our January 2008 FLU A strains and FLU B strains.
