Classes canceled in Rhode Island as illness investigated
Infection Control Monitor, January 5, 2007
Rhode Island officials cancelled school January 4 and 5 for more than 20,000 students, as health officials searched for any link between a suspected case of meningitis and the earlier death of a second grader with encephalitis.
The director of the state public health department, David Gifford, MD, told the Boston Globe that it would be premature to say the state has an outbreak on its hands. Officials are investigating a link between the illness of an elementary school student reported January 3 with suspected meningitis and mycoplasma, an infection blamed for encephalitis that killed a Warwick child and sickened two others.
