A young friend of mine has just died from a virus? called
meningiacoccymia (spelling uncertain). It is apparently related to
meningitis, but is very rare & quite deadly. No one here (laypeople)
seems to have any coherent information about this disease. This young
woman became ill with a sore throat & flu-like symptoms, was given
antibiotics & sent home. She went to the ER when she started vomiting.
The doctors apparently identified it after she broke out in a rash &
rushed her to a hospital in Seattle. She died the next morning. Any
information re incubation period, origin, transmittal would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
