Epidemic Meningitis
by J.J. Weyer - M.D.
Epidenic Meningitis is a disease
which enters the body through the nose
and. throat, affecting mainly the nervous system.
The disease is demonstrated in
its early stages by all of the nigns
and symptoms of a cold. There is the
general ill-feeling with a discharge
from the nose, possibly a sore throat
and. a cough, These e«rly svmotoms may
be brought on with a chill and a headache, followed by a fever.
Later symptoms are a stiff neck,
pains in the >ack, sore eyes, sensa-
tivness to light, extremely severe head
aches and later delerium.
The death rate in past epidemics
has "teen from 35 to 58 percent.- However, those that do recover usually
have some type of permanent damage.
Blindness and deafness are rather common, There may bo a mastoid infection
or 'wate on the brain'. These are but
