The Middlesx-London Health Unit has issued a warning about meningococcal disease.
People who came into close contact with four Londoners are now being offered antibiotics to prevent the development of type b meningococcal disease.
One of those four ictims died as a result of the disease.
Derek Rogers reported tonight on A-News at Six that health officials say most people who contract meningococcal disease never become sick. But for those who do, getting treatment quickly is extremely important.
