Monthly Infectious Disease Summary
May 2009

(infectious disease data presented here is preliminary)

Monthly Highlights
Reportable Disease Conditions
Higher Than Expected Counts for Current Month

(see table 3)

Campylobacter - the number of Campylobacter cases for May 2009 was higher than expected for the month when compared to the past 5-year average for May. The increase of cases in May 2009 may be attributed in part to a small cluster of Campylobacter jejuni cases that were possibly linked to consumption of unpasteurized raw milk and queso fresco (soft Mexican-style cheese). For additional general information on Campylobacter click here.

Novel Influenza A Hospitaliztions - all hospitalized cases of novel influenza A are due to the novel H1N1 influenza A (swine flu) pandemic. For the most current information on the pandemic click here.
