New strain of flu
arrives in U.S.;
3 cases in Texas
ATLANTA (AP) — The new in
fluenza strain that health officials
warned about three months ago has
arrived in the United States in the
first reported cases of the 1986-87
flu season.
The national Centers for Disease
Control reported Thursday that flu
virus has been isolated this fall in
five patients in the United States —
three in Texas, one in New York
state and one in Hawaii.
The three Texas cases were all de
tected in unrelated children living in
Houston, said Jeff Taylor, an epide
miologist with the state health de
partment in Austin. The Texas de
partment also suspects a fourth case
in Brownsville, he said.
The national agency said early
analysis has been run on the viruses
found in New York and Hawaii, and
they appear similar to the Taiwan
flu, a new strain the CDC reported
in August after it was detected in
Southeast Asia.
Discovery of the new flu
prompted the federally recom
mended development of a new vac
cine to be given in addition to the
standard vaccine, which guards
against three other flu strains.
With only a few flu cases re
ported, it’s impossible to predict yet
the seriousness of this winter’s flu
season or how widespread the new
Taiwan flu might be, said Dr. Karl
Kappus, a CDC influenza specialist.
The new supplemental vaccine
for Taiwan flu is especially recom
mended for people under 35 who
are at increased risk of flu complica
tions because of heart conditions,
lung disorders or weakened immune
systems.
The vaccine also is recommended
to protect against flu in children who
must be on aspirin therapy, since flu
and aspirin have been linked to Reye
syndrome, a rare but serious disease,
in people 18 and under.
There is still some confusion
about the recommendations con
cerning Taiwan flu vaccine, Kappus
said. The CDC said Thursday that
standard flu shots should not be de
layed while doctors are awaiting
their supplies of Taiwan flu vaccine;
the two do not have to be given si
multaneously.
The new vaccine should be avail
able in most areas by the end of this
month, Kappus said.
Textbook not modern
enough for board
AUSTIN (AP) — State Board of
Education members voted Thursday
to ban the use of the most popular
high school health textbook in Texas
because the volume does not include
sex education.
“It does not talk about human re
production,” said board member Re
becca Canning of Waco, who made
the motion to drop “Modern
Health” from the list of approved
texts that can be used by districts.
Textbook critic Elizabeth Judge of
Houston told the board that the
book published by Holt, Rinehart
and Winston leaves students in the
dark about reproduction.
The board, meeting as a commit
tee of the whole, voted 7-3 to recom
mend dropping “Modern Health”
from the approved list. The board
also voted to require all high school
health textbooks to include a section
on AIDS.
“Modern Health” has been the
most widely used high school health
textbook in Texas for several years,
according to Dan Franck, a senior
editor with the New York publisher
that produces it. He acknowledged it
contains little information on repro
duction. Franck said that’s what
many districts want.
“We have built our books based
on extensive nationwide surveys of
what teachers need,” Franck told the
board.
But Canning said the volume is no
longer adequate for a state with
problems with sexually transmitted
diseases and school-age pregnancies.
Susan Nation, an Austin teacher
and member of the textbook com
mittee that made recommendations
to the board, said the book was on
the list because some districts do not
want to teach sex education.
Vidal Trevino, textbook commit
tee chairman and Laredo ISD super
intendent, said “Modern Health”
should be left on the list.
“I do not believe it is the responsi
bility of the state to dictate to 1,100
districts to what extent they will
teach sex education,” he said.
After the vote, Franck said his
company would try to get back on
the approved list by offering a sepa
rate sex education book that can be
used in conjunction with “Modern
Health.”
