Health Department: No flu outbreak in St Charles High School

less than 10 percent of those students who reported illness on Oct. 19 and 20 actually had flu-like symptoms.

absenteeism "likely was due to a combination of several different causes of illness in conjunction with non-illness-related absences."

8 percent of students reported flu-like symptoms; about 20 percent reported respiratory illness that was not flu-like; about 22 percent reported gastrointestinal illness; about 50 percent reported a variety of symptoms.
