KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Officials at the University of Tennessee Medical Center say they're seeing an early increase in influenza reports. UT Medical Center infection prevention manager Jennifer Radtke tells the Knoxville News Sentinel that although it's too early to determine if this winter will be a bad season for the flu, the hospital has seen growth in the number of reported cases this month. As of Wednesday, UT Medical Center had seen 64 people in December who tested positive for the flu.
