A definitive diagnosis of bacterial meningitis cannot be confirmed in ANY patient until cultures are positive for the bacteria, this takes several days. The news media cannot report a case of bacterial meningitis as anything but "probable" until it has been confirmed through cultures. Welcome to the liable world we live in! This is why the news has to report it this way, if they reported this as a confirmed case, then they would be in violation of the law.

Just an update on the lincoln high school student she is doing very well just got moved out of icu today she is our miracle child

Glad she is doing better, sad that WBOY STILL has the story posted as "MAY HAVE". Sad. just sad.

I'm so glad that this young lady is doing better, I wish her a full speedy recovery. I have heard so many rumors, which is sad for people to spread lies in a case like this. My main concern though is this, I've been told that there are 2 more students that have meningitis. My question is, is there any truth to this and if so, why has it not been reported? My children attend school in Lumberport and I think that even though we don't need to know who, we should know if this is true. My thoughts and prayers are still with the young lady.

We need to keep this family in our prayers,Thank You God she did not pass.I cant imagine what the parents have been through. We are glad to hear that she is improving.

The lincoln high school student did have meningits and the family would like to let everyone know so that the rumors will stop that she did not die and she is doing very well Thank you ............
