Flu Surveillance Project Highlighted in Lancet Respiratory Medicine

flu_virus_illustration_CDCThe Lancet Respiratory Medicine featured two articles in late August about the Influenza Incidence Surveillance Project (IISP) 2009-2013.

The IISP is the only multi-state, nationally representative network that can estimate influenza incidence in patients with influenza-like illness presenting to ambulatory care clinics in the USA.

Wisconsin is one of the participating study sites.

Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) Communicable Disease Division Director Dr. Pete Shult and Respiratory Virus Team Leader Erik Reisdorf and WSLH staff collaborate with Dr. Jon Temte in the University of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine on the project.
