    Novel Influenza A Virus

    One infection with an influenza A (H3N2) variant virus (H3N2v) was reported to CDC by Iowa.

    Contact between the case patient and swine in the week preceding illness was reported. The patient has fully recovered and no further cases have been identified in contacts of the case patient.

    This is the first H3N2v infection reported for the 2013-2014 influenza season, which began on September 29, 2013.
