Several lab-diagnosed cases of influenza have Chase County Schools? students at home this week or just returning to class.
School Nurse Angie Paisley said the annual flu bug is showing up more among grade 7-12 students, several of which have the confirmed diagnosis after lab tests. Two to three K-6 students have also been sent home, or stayed home, with symptoms, she said.
The symptoms started showing up among students last week, Paisley said. They include the sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, dry cough or muscle aches.
?They came in the morning fine and by afternoon they were sent home,? she said, one with a temperature as high as 102-plus degrees.
