CDC investigation finished
(2010-03-19)
(WOUB) - After a couple weeks on OU's campus, the CDC has finished its investigation into several cases of bacterial meningitis.

According to a press release today, the results WILL take some time to come back.

The CDC teamed up with the Ohio Department of Health and the Athens City-County Health Department to gather information from affected and unaffected students.

The data was then analyzed to determine if certain factors put the affected students at a higher risk for contracting the disease.

The CDC arrived in Athens on March 2, and has worked pretty fast to complete the investigation before the students left for spring break.
