KU expects flu after Christmas
The Hong Kong flu is expected to claim a heavy toll on the KU campus after Christmas, said Dr. James Campbell, Watkins Hospital physician.
The flu, which is not much different in severity or symptoms from the familiar Asian flu of recent years, said Topeka health officials, has been reported in Shawnee, Douglas, Jackson, Saline, Rawins, Ellis,
Decatur, Ford and Finney counties.
Dr. Campbell said symptoms include headache, sore throat, dry cough, muscular pains and loss of appetite. Length of the illness, he said, depends on the victim's physical condition.
"The flu can run 48 hours or two weeks. Those in good condition beforehand," he said,

A new vaccine to combat the flu arrived Monday at Watkins. However, due to a limited supply of 2,000 doses, this first shipment, said hospital officials, will be used to treat elderly and ill persons and retired faculty.
"The older age group's resistance to infection is lower than students," Campbell said. "Heart ailments are aggravated by extreme pressure on the lungs."
Campbell encourages students to continue receiving regular flu shots, although they are not effective against the Hong Kong strain. He said he is hopeful a second shipment of new vaccine will arrive soon because ten days to two weeks are needed to build immunization.
Although predictions are not encouraging, the flu cases are not as severe or widespread as last year, Campbell said. Watkins has diagnosed only one hospital case of the Hong Kong strain, he said, although many students have gone home or resting in their living groups.
