Meningitis may have killed Kaplan man

Friends and family are mourning the loss of 20-year-old Brigg Gary from Kaplan who passed away Friday morning of possible meningitis.

Gary died in a Lafayette hospital Friday at 4 a.m. after arriving at the hospital at 7 p.m. Thursday. He was rushed to the Lafayette hospital from the Kaplan hospital Thursday evening.
...​

Doctors told Brigg?s parents that early indications are that the 20-year-old died of Invasive Sepsis Meningitis. Meningococcal Meningitis attacks the brain and the spinal cord fluid. Sepsis Meningitis is found in the blood. Dana said doctors said Briggs could have contracted Sepsis Meningitis in the air, so it is impossible to pinpoint where he got it, she added.

Dr. Tina Stefanaksi, the Medical Director for the region, could not confirm if Briggs did die due to meningitis because of HIPPA laws. But she did say that her department is looking into a Sepsis Meningitis case in the region (Acadiana area) but would not name the parish.

Meningitis vaccine in demand in Kaplan


by Chris Rosa Vermilion Today.Com

Monday morning phones were ringing at doctors? offices in Kaplan in search of the meningitis vaccine.


The problem was that doctors did not have a large supply available because there is hardly a demand for it like there was Monday.

The sudden demand for the vaccine is due to the shocking death of Kaplan?s Brigg Gary, 20, who possibly died of meningitis.
