COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -
The Lexington County Coroner confirmed Thursday that Brett Williams, 16, tested positive for Influenza B just days before he died at Palmetto Health Children?s Hospital on Tuesday.
His case is expected to add to the recent spike in flu cases that the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control is seeing throughout South Carolina.
DHEC says they are seeing widespread flu activity across the state, and it's unknown if we are at the peak of the season or if it could worsen.
