(steve) new at six... flu season has become more deadly among children. according to the cdc... 22 more children have died from flu-related causes. that brings the total to 84 since october. (ots/steve) compounding flu season problems is the fact that the most common flu tests performed at hospitals and clinics are far from perfect, sometimes resulting in false negatives. that puts lives at risk and can result in further spread of the flu. but as kron four's rob fladeboe reports now, there is a better, more accurate test available. tarajean lee has recovered after recently testing postive for the flu here at stanford health care's menlo medical clinic in menlo park.tarajean lee/diagnosed with the flu "....i was out of work for for days, it just really knocked me down...."fortunately for tarajean, the clinic has one of these. it's a diagnostic tool, a machine that looks for the flu virus in a different way and is far more effective
