On Tuesday, Elon University received its first confirmation of the H1N1 virus on campus.

According to Jana Lynn Patterson, assistant vice president of student life, a student's sample was sent to the CDC on Sept. 3 and was confirmed positive for H1N1.

Elon's health center is considered a CDC reporting station, according to Patterson, and can send up to three samples a week

Elon tests for Type A flu, which assumes H1N1, and Type B flu, which does not. Another student has also been tested for H1N1 off campus but the university has not received word about results yet. A third student has tested positive with Type B seasonal flu, as well.

All three students have left campus to recuperate at home.

Story seems a little behind whats going on on campus. A number of other students have flu like symptoms so this is likely to rise.
