Sorry to hear that, hope your friend pulls through.

Not sure on the survival rate to be honest, it all depends on what strain it is and how soon they've caught it.

I would think there is a good chance of them being able to cure it with the things available to them now. If it's any help at all, I know a few people who had it and pulled through

yeah!! she is out of intensive care and she is awake now which is good but still a bit out of it but they think she is out of the worst now thanks every1 for the kind words

apparantly she had bacterial meningococcus B which is the worst kind but luckily she didn't develop septicemia from it so is slowly pulling through

hi baileysqueen,

sorry to hear your news. i dont know what the survival rate is, i think it is dependant upon the strain.

However, my little boy had it when he was 3 - meningicocal sceptecemia (forgive the spelling). Was in a really bad way for around a week (thought we were losing him) and he managed to pull through more or less unscathed.

Now he's ten and giving me cheek on an hourly basis.

Just wanted you to know that there is always hope!

Good luck

Vixmorx
