Meningitis scare


A second Stuyvesant HS student may have contracted bacterial meningitis, authorities said yesterday.

Last week, Ava Hecht, 17, of Bayside, Queens, a senior at the prestigious school, died of the disease.

The boy in the new case was taken to a hospital from school yesterday with a fever and was expected to stay overnight for observation, officials said. Test results are due back today.
