A student of Michigan State University has recently died late Thursday night due to an unidentified reason, a report reveals. It is being suspected by health officials that she has probably died because of bacterial meningitis.
It has been found that a 19-year-old Girl Carly Glynn, who was a resident at the Snyder-Phillips, is supposed to die of a bacterial infection called meningitis. However, health experts are saying that a final decision is yet needed to be made about what actually caused the death of the girl.
Patients of bacterial meningitis show symptoms like stiff neck, nausea, fever, headache and sensitivity to light, told health officials. The report says that Carly Christine was taken to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing on Thursday night after she showed such symptoms, where she died after few hours. Health officials from Ingham County have been searching for the source of bacteria that is being deemed to be the possible reason for her death.
It is evident from past reports that the meningococcal disease had killed some students in the year 1997 and 2002. This is why it is being assumed to be the cause of Carly's death. Also, one other student had been diagnosed with bacterial meningitis previously, but she contracted and recovered from the same. On discovering the same, many students were given vaccination for the ailment.
University too believes the bacteria to have killed the girl, which is why it is being recommended to all others to get vaccination for the same. Along with it, everyone is being made alert and is being suggested to always wash hands and not touch face. "Everybody should be vaccinated because stuff like this happens... You don't really think it will but it happens and happens quick", said MSU student Alexia Wallick.
