Meningococcal disease (commonly referred to as meningitis or epidemic meningitis) is a serious, sometimes fatal bacterial infection that occurs worldwide. Since January 2009, local health officials in India have reported 230 deaths and 2,000 possible cases of meningitis in the northeastern states of Tripura, Meghalaya, and Mizoram. These states are in the part of India bordered by Bangladesh to the west and Myanmar (Burma) to the east. Authorities in India'ss northeastern Meghalaya region are trying to combat the outbreak of meningitis fever that has claimed around 132 lives and debilitated 900. After visiting the affected areas the team of experts said that most of the meningitis fever cases have been reported from slum areas where the people are forced to live in unhygienic conditions.
