[February 28, 2008]  Logan County Health Department's chief communicable disease nurse, Mary Anderson, has just released a report of the number of lab-confirmed influenza cases so far this season.

From Dec. 12, 2007, through Feb. 22, 2008, 177 cases have been reported. Of those confirmations, 93 percent were A strain. The remaining 13 cases, or 7 percent, were B strain.

The youngest person affected was 20 days old. The oldest was 95 years old.

Below is a breakdown by age and number of the cases.

It shows more young as having the flu, but it may just be that more young people were brought in for testing.
