Students bugged by new flu
By PAM iOWARD Staff Reporter
Influenza viruses, like fashion,
keep changing. This year, KU
students are being bulged by a
strain called A-Bangkok...
Quite a few students have come to Watkins Memorial Hospital exhibiting all the symptoms of influenza, Martin Wollmann, director
They come in with muscle aches, aching behind the eyes, fever and a dry, scratchy cough, he said.
Throat washings of infected students, Wollman said, had been sent to the State Health Department in Topeka.
Laboratory testing of the samples will most likely document A-Banook as the strain responsible for the recent outbreak of influenza, he said.
Wollmann said that avoiding crowded places might reduce a person's chance of contracting the virus.
He also suggested that people
suffering from the flu cover their noses and mouths when sneezing or coughing and wash their hands often to reduce the spread of the virus.
Wollmann added, however, that there were no known health measures to prevent influenza.
For those who are suffering from the flu, rest, plenty of fluids and medicine to reduce the fever should speed recovery.
Since the flu tends to drain the body of strength, Wollmann said that only bedrest prevented the flu from dragging on and on.
"It is a sapper, so to speak. It pulls energy out of people. It is hard for the body to fight it. It wrings you out."
A healthy person who contracts the flu would not need to see a doctor unless his fever rose above 104 degrees, Wollmann said. If a person becomes ill from a viral condition or has localized pain or a severe cough, he should see a doctor.
If this area follows the national trend, there will be more cases of influenza this year than last year at University of Kansas, Wolmann said.
This may not mean bad news for everyone, though. People who suffered from last year's strain of flu, called A-Brazil, may not suffer as much as those who did not have it. But having A-Brazil will not protect a person from contracting A-Bangkok, Wollmann said.
Flu is just beginning at KU, he said, and quite a few more cases will most likely develop.
However, Ann Allor, communicable disease nurse for the Douglas County Health Department, said that no cases of A-Bangok had yet been confirmed anywhere in Douglas County.
Great Bend is the only city in Kansas so far that has had a documented case of this flu strain.
Across the nation, however, A-Bangkok has been documented in 16 states and has reached epidemic levels on the East and West coasts.
