Five people have died from complications of a “rare but serious illness” in Virginia following a statewide outbreak of meningococcal disease, the Virginia Department of Health announced.
Twenty-seven cases of the disease, caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis type Y, have been reported in eastern, central, and southwest Virginia since June 2022, according to the department.
Most case-patients are Black or African American adults between 30 to 60 years of age, according to the Virginia Health Department. Only one person was vaccinated for Neisseria meningitidis type Y out of the 27 reported cases.
“This development is three times the expected number of cases during this time period,” the department said in a news release Wednesday.
The strain associated with this outbreak is known to be circulating more widely in the United States, according to the Virginia Health Department.
Most of the cases are in residents of eastern Virginia, where a regional outbreak was first announced in September 2022 , according to the release. There were three deaths and 12 cases reported in the most recent alert from the department in March 2023, prior to Wednesday’s notice.
What is meningococcal disease and how does it spread?
Meningococcal disease refers to any sickness caused by Neisseria meningitidis, CNN previously reported . The infection can lead to both meningitis and a serious infection of the bloodstream called septicemia, or blood poisoning.
The bacteria can spread from person to person through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions, and typically occurs via kissing, coughing, sneezing or living in close contact with others who are infected.
Symptoms can mimic the flu or Covid-19 and include a headache, fever, nausea or vomiting, brain fog, sensitivity to light, sleepiness or trouble waking, a stiff neck and possibly a skin rash.
