An 18-year-old student from San Diego State University died on Friday after being diagnosed with meningococcal disease,U-T San Diego reported.
Sara Stelzer, a freshman, was admitted to a regional hospital last Tuesday with flu-like symptoms. She was on life support at Kaiser Permanente hospital in San Diego three days before passing away.
Stelzer was diagnosed with serogroup B, the same strain of meningitis that affected four students at UC Santa Barbara and nine at Princeton University in 2013.
Since serogroup B is transmitted through close contact between individuals, school officials at San Diego began a campus-wide investigation to trace possible contacts of Stelzer. Stelzer, a member of the Kappa Delta sorority, had attended student parties on Oct. 8 and 9. After evaluating more than 860 individuals, some of whom had never met Stelzer but were simply worried, SDSU Health Services provided more than 400 doses of antibiotics by the end of Thursday.
Ventura County health authorities also began looking into possible contacts of Stelzer after learning that Stelzer had attended a football game in her hometown on Oct. 10 and had a party at her family’s home before returning to SDSU to start the school week.
