Posted: 5:53 AM Aug 31, 2009
Just one week into classes, two Indiana universities have reported students with suspected cases of swine flu.
This weekend officials at both Purdue University in West Lafayette and Butler University in Indianapolis confirmed one case each for the H1N1 flu virus.
The student at Butler has officially been diagnosed with Type A influenza; but the State Department of Health says anyone with that type of flu should be treated as if they have the H1N1 virus.
The student lives in a fraternity and has been isolated from the other members of the house.
The Purdue student has also been isolated and is undergoing treatment.
Health officials say students are at a high risk of getting the virus so it?s important to constantly wash your hands and stay home at any on-set of the flu.
