Meningiacoccymia ???

[DrgonSong]

A young friend of mine  has just died from a virus? called
meningiacoccymia (spelling uncertain).  It is apparently related to
meningitis, but is very rare & quite deadly.  No one here (laypeople)
seems to have any coherent information about this disease.   This young
woman became ill with a sore throat & flu-like symptoms, was given
antibiotics & sent home.  She went to the ER when she started vomiting. 
The doctors apparently identified it after she broke out in a rash &
rushed her to a hospital in Seattle.  She died the next morning.   Any
information re incubation period, origin, transmittal would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks.
