KAYSVILLE -- The flu virus, possibly H1N1, may have triggered a rare disease in a 14-year-old Kaysville teenager. Davis Cox has what is called "severe aplastic anemia" -- a life-threatening condition that critically compromises the immune system.
Davis was healthy, playing football and baseball and hanging out with friends -- that is until his family had a bout with the flu.
"He was so healthy and strong five days before symptoms began appearing," says Davis' mother, Gayle Cox. "We had all been sick and had the same virus about five weeks before he got sick."
