UI student airlifted to Boise with possible meningitis
April 9, 2008, 7:28 pm
Don Benz, president of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, said one of the fraternity's members began acting strangely Wednesday morning and was taken to Gritman Medical Center in Moscow at about 10:30 a.m.
"He was running into walls, couldn't talk and reaching for doorknobs where there wasn't one," Benz said.
After administering multiple tests, doctors determined the student may have meningitis and immediately had him transported to St. Luke's Hospital in Boise, Benz said.
Kappa Sigma is taking measures to sanitize the house, and Benz advises anyone who has visited the the fraternity or is currently living in the house to take antibiotics as a precautionary measure.
