" Five pediatric deaths connected with influenza were reported during the 2010-11 season, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.
The season concluded with the latest report, which covers Sept. 25 to Oct. 4.
A total 9,837 lab-confirmed cases were reported across Arizona. Many more likely were sick, as some people don’t require lab testing, health officials say.
Most confirmed cases — 30 percent — were in people 19 to 49 years age. The second biggest group was children 5 to 18, with 27 percent of the cases. Arizona’s youngest population — birth through age 4 — saw 23 percent of the confirmed cases.
One percent of cases did not have the patient’s age."
