DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Health officials say four cases of respiratory illness have been confirmed in four young Iowans with a history of vaping.
The Iowa Department of Public Health said in a news release Thursday that several other states have recently reported cases of severe respiratory illness among teenagers and young adults who’d been vaping. Their symptoms include cough, fatigue, dizziness, headache, vomiting and diarrhea, chest pain and worsening difficulty breathing. The cases are still being investigated.
The department director, Dr. Caitlin Pedati, is asking health care providers to watch for cases of severe respiratory illness among teenagers and young adults and to inquire about their recent vaping and e-cigarette use. The providers also are asked to report any cases to the Iowa Public Health Department.

Work is expected to begin soon on a section of Olive Street on the north side of Atlantic. The construction is a resurfacing project of about a six mile stretch of Olive Street from the Atlantic city limits to the Audubon County line.
A pilot car will be in place to control traffic on the roadway as the road is milled down and re-surfaced with asphalt. The roadway will also be widened by two feet on each side.
Once started the project has a 35 working day timeline and is expected to be completed by mid to late September.
A day after Griswold School Officials celebrated a new addition, the Red Oak School District hosted a ribbon-cutting for their new school facilities upgrade on Thursday.
The project is a $29 million new school facilities upgrade that started after $19.9 million in obligation bonds was approved by district patrons in 2017. Construction started at the end of the 2017-18 school year and adjustments were made to hold activities around the work last year. Red Oak students will get to use the new facility today.
The complete plan closed the middle school building and converted the Washington Elementary building to house early elementary. The Inman building houses first through sixth grade students. The new high school campus will house 7th through 12th grade students.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina knew Dexter Fowler would come up big, even before Fowler did.
Marcell Ozuna, Paul DeJong and Fowler each hit two-run homers, and the St. Louis Cardinals came back to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 on Thursday night.
Fowler’s 15th home run of the season, off of a 97 mph fastball from Yency Almonte (0-1) in the seventh, capped the rally. Molina had his hands in the air as the pitch left Almonte’s hand.
“I got a good feeling the way he was the previous at-bat,” Molina said. “He was taking good swings, and I knew it for some reason.”
Fowler made solid contact his previous two at-bats, sending a pair of drives to the center field wall that were caught. After the second fly out, Paul Goldschmidt gave some advice to his teammate.
“Goldy said, ‘Hey, try to pull the ball,’ so that’s what I did,” Fowler said.
Matt Carpenter set it up by working a walk in an eight-pitch, pinch-hitting appearance to lead off the frame.
“He came off the bench with the right kind of mindset, took a really, really good, tough, quality at-bat, worked a deep count and then made the guy make pitches and worked a walk and brought the go-ahead run to the plate which we were rewarded for,” manager Mike Shildt said.
Fowler leads the Cardinals with 15 RBIs in August. He is batting .320 (8 for 25) in his last seven games with two homers and 12 RBI.
“The situation’s there,” Fowler said of his recent surge, which has coincided with his being moved to the leadoff spot. “The guys have been getting on base and I’ve just been in the right situation at the right times.”
Dominic Leone (1-0), who was recalled from Triple-A Memphis before the game, got the win. Giovanny Gallegos and Andrew Miller pitched a scoreless eighth and Carlos Martínez picked up his 15th save in 18 opportunities.
It was the third straight start in which Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas gave up five earned runs. The Rockies put runners on the bases in five of his six innings, but St. Louis managed to win for the fourth time in its last five games.
UP NEXT
The Rockies will send RHP Peter Lambert (2-3, 6.55 ERA) to the mound in the second game of the four-game series against the Cardinals and RHP Jack Flaherty (7-6, 3.46 ERA). Lambert will be making his first-ever start against St. Louis. Flaherty has won his last three starts and has only allowed one run in his last 28 innings.
