A 20-year-old man died this morning (Saturday) at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem, after contracting an aggressive bacteria.
The young man was rushed to the medical center suffering from symptoms of meningitis, and the emergency team began a quick and thorough examination even before the results were received.
The medical team began to treat the 20-year-old immediately and intensively with treatment suitable for the condition of bacterial meningitis.
However, in light of rapid deterioration and damage to all body systems, and despite efforts to stabilize his condition, the young man's body systems collapsed and the team had to determine his death.
"It is a relatively rare disease that is not common, and an aggressive bacteria that spreads quickly and severely attacks the body's systems," the hospital spokeswoman said.
"Hadassa deeply shares in the family's grief."
