Strains of Influenza Isolated in Georgia, 2005-2006

2005-2006 Flu Graphs

Last Updated: June 30, 2006

A number of sentinel physicians in Georgia volunteer to collect specimens from patients ill with flu-like illness. These specimens are sent to the Georgia Public Health Laboratory for virus isolation and identification. Then, a sample of isolates is forwarded to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for antigenic characterization. This information is needed to compare current circulating influenza strains with vaccine strains, to guide decisions about influenza treatment and prophylaxis, and to formulate vaccine for the coming year. Virus isolates are also needed to monitor the emergence of antiviral resistance. The following table lists flu isolates confirmed at the Georgia Public Health Laboratory to date.
