Young woman, 21, fights for her life after becoming infected with meningococcal disease

A 21-year-old woman is fighting for her life after becoming infected with meningococcal disease.  

On Monday, South Australia Health said there have been two cases of ‘invasive meningococcal disease’ reported in the state this year alone, compared to just one recorded at the same time last year. 

Six people who came into contact with the Adelaide woman will receive clearance antibiotics.

More to come.
