On the ninth floor of Case Western Reserve University's biomedical research building, Man-Sun Sy's lab looks like any other. With diligent precision, a young researcher squirts a bluish gel from a syringelike device into a small water-filled container.

Health officials expect to know by tomorrow whether a Stark County teen-ager's critical illness was caused by the same strain of meningococcal bacteria that recently killed two other high school students.
