A second female University of Oregon student was exposed to and contracted the meningococcemia, according to the Register Guard.
UO students who may have come into contact with the student were contacted via email and text message. The student, who was living on campus in Earl Hall, is in stable condition at a hospital in Oregon.
The Health Center’s website reported that the risk of someone else contracting the potentially fatal bacterial blood infection was relatively slim.
