Fourth case of meningitis in South Bohemia

Doctors have reported a fourth case of meningitis in South Bohemia since the start of the year. The latest case is reported to be a seven year old girl who is in critical condition. A fifteen year old boy died of the infection earlier this year. Early signs of meningitis are similar to flu symptoms and doctors have warned parents not to underestimate their children’s health complaints and get them checked up by doctor since a delay in treating meningitis can result in death.
