The Zweiger's could not be reached at their home Monday. Meningitis is spread through very close or nearly intimate contact. People infected may suffer brain damage, death, hearing loss or learning disability. Zanto said about 115 people were seen by medical personnel since Combe's infection was made public and about 55 of those students were given antibiotics because they had direct contact with the professor. Kids are getting back to class and studying.
Some students are still wary about the disease.
Especially those returning to the Arts and Communications Building where Combe worked closely with students. You don't know how many people have it. Although symptoms can develop anywhere between two to 10 days after infection, most develop in three to four days, Spiegle said. But I'd hate to say that we'll never see another case.
