Performance of Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests During Two School Outbreaks of 2009 Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Infection
Connecticut, 2009

During May 2009, outbreaks of 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) infection among persons from two schools were detected in Greenwich, Connecticut, and confirmed by real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assay. Staff members from Greenwich Hospital and the Connecticut Department of Public Health collected symptoms from 63 patients and submitted nasopharyngeal washings for testing using both a rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) and rRT-PCR. This report summarizes the findings from this RIDT performance assessment.

Children who either have been exposed to human immunodeficiency virus or who are infected with HIV are at increased risk for certain illnesses. This report updates previously published guidelines for clinicians and other health-care practitioners who provide medical care for these persons. The guidelines were developed by a panel of specialists in pediatric HIV infection and other infectious diseases.

MMWR Surveillance Summaries

July 17, 2009 / Vol. 58 / No. SS–6
Sexual and Reproductive Health of Persons Aged 10-24 Years
United States, 2002--2007

This report presents data for 2002-2007 concerning the sexual and reproductive health of persons aged 10-24 years in the United States. Data were compiled from the National Vital Statistics System and multiple surveys and surveillance systems that monitor sexual and reproductive health outcomes into a single reference report that makes this information more easily accessible to policy makers, researchers, and program providers who are working to improve the reproductive health of young persons in the United States. The report addresses three primary topics: 1) current levels of risk behavior and health outcomes; 2) disparities by sex, age, race/ethnicity, and geographic residence; and 3) trends over time. The data presented in this report indicate that many young persons in the United States engage in sexual risk behavior and experience negative reproductive health outcomes. Although the majority of negative outcomes have been declining for the past decade, the most recent data suggest that progress might be slowing, and certain negative sexual health outcomes are increasing.
