Delaware?s Division of Public Health (DPH) reports the state?s first laboratory confirmed case of influenza for the 2011-2012 flu season. Yesterday the Delaware Public Health Laboratory confirmed influenza type A/H3 in an 11-year-old boy from Wilmington. The child is recovering at home. Influenza A/H3 currently accounts for 30 percent of the flu cases that have occurred nationwide this season.
Beginning in October each year, DPH monitors the occurrence of influenza-like illness in hospitals, selected long term care facilities and medical clinics to track flu trends in the state. Reports so far do not suggest that influenza is widely circulating in Delaware.
