State health officials learned Thursday the girl began to have flu-like symptoms on Tuesday, checked into a Laclede County emergency room in Wednesday before being transported to an undisclosed Springfield hospital, where she died sometime Thursday, Wagar said.
Wagar said the girl was between the ages of 13 and 17. Federal laws prevent state officials from identifying the hospital, doctor or patients’ names or the patient’s age, Wagar said.
Wagar said state health officials were informed by local sources that the girl may have had other, underlying health problems.
