Wisconsin Kindred Nursing Home Residents Fall Ill From Unknown Illness

Twenty-one residents at Mount Carmel Health and Rehabiltiation Center, a Kindred Health Care nursing home facility located in Wisconsin, have fallen ill from a mystery illness. The residents appear to be suffering from minor respiratory symptoms.

While nursing home officials have identified the mystery illness as a respiratory virus, Kentucky health officials are anxiously awaiting the results of laboratory testing that will give them a definite diagnosis of the illness and an idea into how the illness managed to spread.
