And he had Cryptococcal meningitis.

And so I went on to Google, Cryptococcal meningitis, you know.

And infection would continue to claim a majority of surgical patients until the next big revolution in surgery, which was aseptic technique.

Where outbreaks were identified, agencies coordinated their actions to undertake measles and meningitis vaccination campaigns.

For cerebrospinal meningitis, he suggested altered house designs, early vaccination initiatives, mobile clinics and health education.

An increased prevalence of diseases such as cholera, yellow fever, meningitis, measles and poliomyelitis has been reported.

Iran states that it provided a range of vaccinations for diseases, such as tuberculosis, polio, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles and meningitis.

The response to epidemic cycles of malaria, cholera and meningitis depended heavily on the operational resources of United Nations agencies and NGOs working in the sector.

In December 2001 the Government of Uruguay expressed its desire to purchase from Cuba a batch of anti meningitis vaccines the Cuban Government decided to supply the vaccines in response to that request.

He presented a case study from Ghana that linked air temperature and humidity projections with distribution of diseases by showing that periods of high meningitis, diarrhoea and malaria cases coincide with periods of high air temperature.

Consequently, Nigeria had adopted a poverty alleviation strategy that offered credit to rural women and universal vaccination against polio, measles and meningitis, as well as the distribution of insecticide treated mosquito nets to children in rural areas.

But what about when a population is already ill? In 1996, during a major meningitis epidemic in northern Nigeria, the drug company Pfizer supplied doctors with the oral antibiotic Trovan, which was being tested against another drug, ceftriaxone.

Eleven children died during the Trovan trial, and others were left permanently disabled. Still, the death rate in the Trovan trial was much lower than the rate from untreated meningitis, bolstering the case for administering untested Ebola drugs today.

The declaration in question states The Government of Cuba will keep its word, and early in June will deliver to Uruguay the remaining 800,000 of the total 1,200,000 doses of meningitis vaccine which it is committed to donating (ibid.).

The Subcommittee noted with appreciation the work that had been carried out by its members and observers in bringing space system based telemedicine to countries in Africa, in order to solve problems related to malaria, meningitis, Guinea worm and other diseases.

Around the turn of the century, the first sequencing of the human genome led to reverse vaccinology. This approach, whereby computational analysis of a pathogen s genome enables identification and screening of a great many more potential vaccine targets than was previously possible, was used in the successful development of a vaccine against meningitis B.

During a major meningitis epidemic in northern Nigeria in 1996, the drug company Pfizer supplied doctors with the oral antibiotic Trovan, which the firm wanted to test against the most effective known drug, Ceftriaxone, as a control. This procedure is consistent with the general consensus in research ethics that the control group must receive the best known treatment for comparison.
