Officials Warn Of New Menigitis Outbreak Among HIV-Positive Gay Men

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on Friday was investigating a cluster of meningitis cases among HIV-positive gay men.

Three cases of bacterial meningitis have been reported in Brooklyn and Queens since Aug. 24, and two of the three cases have been reported since Tuesday, police said.

An outbreak in a similar demographic between 2010 and February 2013 with 22 cases and seven fatalities, the department reported.
