The name of the child has not been released.

Clearfield Hospital officials said the child was seen in the emergency room Sunday night.

The child was later transferred to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh.

People in close contact with the child were notified by the PA Department of Health.

More than 60 people were tested and one child was sent to Children's Hospital with symptoms of bacterial meningitis.

Clearfield Hospital has not received confirmation that this patient has bacterial meningitis.

Bacterial meningitis is spread by direct exchange of nose and throat secretions, usually through prolonged contact with the infected person.

Symptoms of meningitis may include high fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea and general flu-like symptoms.
