University of Idaho administrators are taking preventative actions today after one student was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis Wednesday. UI Dean of Students Bruce Pitman said university officials were provided preliminary information about the student's condition Tuesday and the diagnosis was confirmed Wednesday morning. Pitman said the student, who is not being identified, was doing well given the situation. Bacterial meningitis is an infection around the brain and spinal cord that typically results from a meningococcal disease that is caused by bacteria, according to the Public Health - Idaho North Central District website. Moscow Family Medicine will be on campus today to provide antibiotics to students in the same living group with the student or who came in contact with the man, Pitman said/Elizabeth Rudd, Lewiston Tribune.
