    Chicago Influenza Laboratory Surveillance

    Several Chicago hospital laboratories report trends in influenza RT-PCR testing. While not complete, the data is intended as "an indicator of circulating influenza viruses in the area". Medical practice appears to be changing in terms of the adoption of rapid diagnostic testing. This is not too surprising given the impact of COVID and the growth of outpatient immediate care centers to improve testing access. Further details can be found at Influenza dashboard.
