Meningitis a concern at CSULB

After a case of meningitis broke out at Cal State Long Beach, I will consider changing my top five health concerns list to include this disease.

The Long Beach Press-Telegram reported on the meningitis case at CSULB on March 6. The article included brief information about the woman infected with the disease, the cause of the disease, and the spread of meningitis.

After the woman was diagnosed with meningitis, the student health center at CSULB provided vaccinations and antibiotic provisions for students.

I will seek further information about other cases of meningitis to find out if this disease is a top concern for college students and everyone else.
