DAYTON — The University of Dayton has confirmed its first case of H1N1 flu within the student body, according to a news release from the university on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

A student visited UD’s Student Health Center last week complaining of flu-like symptoms, the release said. By Tuesday, the student had recovered and returned to class after a period of self-isolation in a house in the student neighborhood.

As of last week, there had been a handful of confirmed H1N1 virus (swine flu) cases in the Miami Valley, none of them at the University of Dayton. Previously there were nine cases in Montgomery and three each in Warren and Greene counties.

The UD student treated last week was tested, and the positive results of that test were delivered to the university Monday evening.

The release said UD is promoting prevention and awareness on campus and is offering advice to students through a Website at www.udayton.edu/flu . Students who have been seen by their doctors for flu-like symptoms are being asked to report their medical conditions to the university.
