The Department of Health received preliminary data from the CDC suggesting a possible relationship between mycoplasma and a previously reported case of encephalitis in a student at the John F. Deering Middles School in West Warwick. That child is currently recovering at home. HEALTH is also investigating reports of higher than normal absenteeism over the past two months related to pneumonia in two Coventry schools: Black Rock Elementary and Oak Haven Elementary. We do not yet know if these illnesses are related to mycoplasma. We have not confirmed an outbreak at the John F. Deering Middle School or elsewhere.
