University Health Services (UHS) officials said yesterday they have not traced the source of a recent outbreak of salmonella infection although they have pinpointed the Freshman Union and the Varsity Club as the areas where students may have contracted the infection.
Because football players and freshmen make up the majority of the reported cases so far, investigators are focusing on the Union and the Varsity Club, Dr. Warren E.C. Wacker, director of UHS, said yesterday.
The University Health Services (UHS) is investigating several recent cases of salmonella poisoning which may have been contracted in the Freshman Union, Dr. Sholem Postel, assistant director of UHS, said yesterday.
UHS has diagnosed eight cases of salmonella poisoning and has admitted three students to Stillman Infirmary for treatment, Postel said. Most of the infected students are freshmen, he added.
Charles J. Krause Jr., sanitary inspector for UHS and the director of the investigation, could not be reached for comment last night.
