Julia Morrill '98, a resident of Richardson residence hall suspected of having contracted spinal meningitis, does not have the potentially life-threatening virus and is not carrying the bacteria.
After passing out in the third-floor bathroom of Richardson on Friday morning while brushing her teeth, Morrill was taken to Dick's House by ambulance.
Some neighbors speculated that Morrill had meningitis in light of the recent hospitalization of two students who were infected with the meningococcus bacteria. A third student had the meningococcus bacteria in her bloodstream.
But Morrill said yesterday she did not exhibit three of the most common symptoms of the disease: a sore throat, fever or stiff neck.
College spokeswoman Nancy Serrell confirmed that although a number of people have been examined at Dick's House recently, there have been no new cases of spinal meningitis.
"Jack Turco tells us there is nothing new to report about someone having meningitis," Serrell said. "A number of people have been checked out recently just to be on the safe side."
Turco is the director of the College Health Service.
Morrill said most likely she passed out because she had not slept the night before.
After several tests, Morrill returned from Dick's House on Saturday. She has fully recovered.
