RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia health officials say a child has died of a brain infection from a microscopic bug that lives in stagnant water.
State epidemiologist Dr. Keri Hall declined to name the child, but the victim's mother identified him as 9-year-old Christian Alexander Strickland of Henrico County.
The boy died Aug. 5 and Hall received the autopsy results Friday confirming the cause of death as meningoencephalitis_ inflammation of the brain and its lining.
I saw this on House....bad way to go if the show is at all accurate. My prayers are with his family and loved ones. Poor kid.
ReplyDeleteYesterday I saw a clip on TV about a young girl in Florida that died from the same thing. What is going on???
