Meningitis victim left unable to see or talk after infection

A student at the University of Kent who survived a meningitis infection has told of her pain and fear when she lost the ability to see and talk. Annabelle Mackay, 21, told the BBC she feels grateful to be alive after she was rushed to hospital with an infection which caused her 'so much pain'. Ms Mackay said she believed she may have contracted meningitis while on a night out at Club Chemistry in Canterbury on March 5, or at a different venue the evening before.
