Another Pittsburgh-area high school wrestler was diagnosed with MRSA, school officials said.

Highlands High School in Natrona Heights told parents that a second member of the team has been diagnosed.

Doctors have cleared the student, and he's back in class, school officials said.

The school said crews have since cleaned the building.

MRSA is a staph bacteria and is dangerous, because it doesn't respond to most antibiotics.
