The Naso-Pharynx as Infection Carrier in Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis

Some Recent Cases of Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis

The following cases of meningococcic cerebro-spinal meningitis are described because there can be little doubt that at the present time there is a small epidemic of this disease in Bristol; and further, the symptoms and signs, especially in the early stages, are by no means easy to elucidate without the use of special methods, such as that of lumbar puncture.

Cerebro-Spinal Fever (Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis)

The invasion of New York by cerebro-spinal fever in the winter and spring of 1904-5, when some 4,000 cases occurred,1 and the more recent appearance of the disease in Glasgow (March, 1906), in Belfast, and some other districts, invite attention to its causation and prophylaxis. It is generally recognised that a cerebro-spinal meningitis may be set up by various causes, such as disease of the mi...

Note on Two Fatal Cases of Acute Meningo-Coccal Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis in Young Children, with Pathological Report on One of Them

Thirdly, The large majority of our cases belong to the class of chronic 01* sub-acute posterior basic meningitis. These, which occur mostly in young babies, run a course varying in duration from 3 weeks to about 3 months in the fatal cases. They are due, as Dr G. F. Still showed in 1898, to a special diplococcus, and this organism is now believed by most authorities to be practically identical ...

Cerebro-Spinal Fever and Meningococci Infection

THIS contribution consists in a review of work done during the severe epidemic of cerebro-spinal meningitis which occurred in Belfast during 1907 and 1908, together with some additional observations that have been made in France during the Great War and also during the present year in Belfast. During 1907 and 1908 we devised an application of Sir A. E. Wright's opsonic technique for the laborat...
