It is believed that meningitis is behind a mystery illness in Liberia that has sickened over 30 people and has killed 13 of them. This illness started after several individuals attended the funeral of a religious leader. An 11-year-old child was the first one that got sick and died within an hour after being admitted to the hospital. Several more from the funeral got sick and died. Other diseases have been ruled out so far and they are looking to confirm that meningitis is to blame.

This is so sad that people can get sick so suddenly and die. Seemingly healthy people get sick and die hours later. Hopefully, they will find the cause of this illness so they can treat it effectively.
