Patients undergo lab testing; hospital fears influenza outbreak
Public health laboratories have not found influenza epidemic evidence at KU now, said Dr. Raymond Schweigler, health service director. But health authorities fear an outbreak of the flu late this year, he added.
"For the last three weeks several patients have been under observation for influenza," Schwegler said. "None of these patients have influenza according
to the reports from the public health laboratories."
However, a possible flu epidemic at KU starting in December is still expected by the public authorities, Schwegler said.
In the influenza case, one of the patients under observation was reported to have an adeno virus which is a common cause of respiratory infection, Schwegler said.
"The flu shots which we have been giving are not a protection against the adeno virus or any other virus except the influenza virus," Schwegler said.
Football games highlight Homecoming weekend
Schwegler said the flu immunization shots are tailored specifically for influenza types A and B. Type A is the virus the public health authorities anticipate will strike KU.
The 1967 Homecoming weekend will give returning alumni a weekend of activity, and two football games, according to a schedule released by the KU Alumni Office.
Friday afternoon KU's freshmen will battle Kansas State in Memorial Stadium. After the game, alums will be able to view the traditional Homecoming house decorations. In the evening, University Theatre will present a special alumni performance of "Gypsy."
Symptoms of these types of viruses are sore throat, headaches and fever.
"Since the first of August we have administered 3,862 flu shots," Schwegler said. "Only 610 were given last week in the clinics set up in the residence halls."
the 10-year clas is scheduled to have a buffet dinner and dance at the National Guard Armory.
Saturday, the Schools of Law, Engineering, Business and Journalism will host free receptions and campus bus tours, followed by a general Homecoming reception and buffet lunch. Another reception will follow the game. All are then invited to the Homecoming concert with Louis Armstrong.
The class of 1957 will also celebrate their 10-year reunion Homecoming weekend. They will have a reception and luncheon before the game. After the game,
Flu shots are available continuously at Watkins Memorial hospital, Schwegler added.
