Meningococcal Disease Update - Media Statement
On Monday, March 10, a Drexel University student tragically died from serogroup B meningococcal disease. CDC's laboratory analysis shows that the strain in Princeton University's serogroup B meningococcal disease outbreak matches the strain in the Drexel University case by "genetic fingerprinting." This information suggests that the outbreak strain may still be present in the Princeton University community and we need to be vigilant for additional cases.
