Important Information About Meningococcal Meningitis

This information is being provided to all new college students in the state of Texas. To ensure that you have been informed of this disease and its prevention, all new UNT students will, as part of their telephone or web-registration process, be prompted to acknowledge receipt of this information. Meningococcal Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress rapidly. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that causes meningitis can also infect the blood. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college students every year. There is a treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or disabilities.
