Upstream Metadata

NotesNotesPlease see the overview document in the attachment section for more details about NYS DOH’s influenza case definition. The cases are reported weekly during the influenza season, which runs from October through May.

DisclaimersLimitations1) Data represents an underestimate of the number of influenza cases occurring each season, because many influenza patients do not visit a healthcare provider, are not tested, or are not tested by a full-service clinical laboratory. 2) Data includes reports of positive influenza rapid antigen detection tests which can have limited validity, especially when influenza is rare in the community. 3) Data does not include reports of positive influenza tests performed in healthcare providers’ offices unless performed under the auspices of a full-service clinical laboratory. 4) Data does not include positive serology tests unless both acute and convalescent serology specimens are tested and demonstrate at least a four-fold rise in antibody titer.
