A 20-year-old university student died within hours of being diagnosed with fulminant meningitis at the University Hospital in Patras. The infection progressed rapidly after he developed symptoms, and despite medical efforts, he passed away early Tuesday. In response, Greece’s National Public Health Organization (EODY) has deployed a team to the region, with preventive measures underway, including chemoprophylaxis for 40 students. This marks the latest case in a series of meningitis incidents in Patras.
