Viral meningitis afflicts two students, employee

Just nine months after two Dartmouth students were struck with the potentially fatal spinal meningitis disease, meningitis is back at Dartmouth -- but in a much less dangerous form. The virus, now afflicting one College employee and two students, has returned in a viral form not nearly as threatening as the bacterial strain seen last winter, according to Assistant Director of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Dr. Nield Mercer. Viral meningitis is "not much harder on the body than the typical fever," Mercer said.

Last January, a female freshman was diagnosed with the meningococcus bacteria, which can lead to spinal meningitis.
