An outbreak has been declared at San Diego State University (SDSU) after a third student was diagnosed with meningococcal meningitis.
According to the San Diego County Public Health Services department, a male undergraduate student showed symptoms of the bacterial infection on Tuesday, September 25. Subsequent testing at the California Department of Public Health confirmed that the cause of the illness was serogroup B meningococcus, per a report by NBC 7.
Earlier this month, a female student was diagnosed with the same bacterial disease. The University’s Student Health Services advised students – who had prolonged contact with the unidentified infected individual during a sorority recruitment event – to get preventative antibiotics, the NBC 7 report said.
