H1N1 Surveillance

Overall, influenza-like illness activity in Wisconsin is higher than normal and sporadic cases of H1N1 have been identified statewide.  The southern region has a higher number of H1N1 cases due to a large number of cases at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, although UW-Madison reports that the number of students they saw for influenza-like symptoms declined last week.  The other four public health regions (northeastern, northern, southeastern and western) continue to report low influenza-like illness activity.  With schools now open statewide, it is expected that influenza-like illnesses will increase.
