Infants are up to 24 times more likely to have severe meningitis than normal, and may die within 24 hours of infection - call the expert on April 24th.
In Hungary, meningococcal bacteria that cause the disease are responsible for twice as many types of disease as type C, but protection against both is important: vaccination against two types of bacteria is no different. Pediatricians and infectious disease experts agree: meningococcal disease should be prevented, meaning that anyone at risk should receive protection.
World Health Day 24 gives professionals the opportunity to emphasize key points:
- Benign Cerebral Inflammation can cause life-changing changes in the life of the patient and family members during a few days, as it can lead to severe and persistent events.
- The disease can be fatal within 24 hours, so early diagnosis and prompt medical intervention are the most important factors in the patient's chances of recovery.
- Only vaccinations are an effective preventive measure against the disease.
Who are the most at risk of disease?
Young children between the ages of 1 and 5 also form a vulnerable group. According to the 2017-2018 Epidemiologic Survey, approximately one quarter of patients were excluded. The risk of infection increases again during adolescence: adolescents and young adults carry the highest proportion of meningococcal bacteria asymptomatic. The more bacteria you carry, the greater the chance of infections occurring, especially in confined spaces. Young people can easily meet with bacterial carriers at mass events, festivals, fun venues, and outdoor trips. Six patients died from the infection, ie one patient did not survive the serious infection for a week. More than half of the patients (22) were children under the age of 6 years.Protection against meningococcal B and C is equally important
