Servicios >> Meningitis B Vaccine
La meningitis es una infección e inflamación del revestimiento que rodea el cerebro y la médula espinal (las meninges). La septicemia es una intoxicación de la sangre causada por los mismos gérmenes y es la forma de la enfermedad que más amenaza la vida. La meningitis / septicemia bacteriana es causada por un germen que vive inofensivamente en la nariz / garganta de muchas personas. Lamentablemente, a veces este germen invade el cuerpo y causa meningitis / septicemia, con consecuencias devastadoras.
Meningitis B; El coste humano.
Irlanda tiene la tasa más alta de hombres B en Europa. Desafortunadamente, aproximadamente 170 personas contraen meningitis / septicemia Men B cada año en Irlanda. Los niños menores de 5 años tienen un riesgo especialmente alto: el pico corresponde a los bebés de solo cinco meses de edad. Los adolescentes son otro grupo de alto riesgo. Las cifras crudas revelan que el 10% muere, mientras que otro 10% tiene una discapacidad importante: (amputación de miembros, sordera y daño cerebral). Aproximadamente el 30% tiene efectos psicológicos a largo plazo.
SÍNTOMAS A CUIDAR DE:
Recuerde siempre que no todos tienen todos los síntomas, y el orden en que se desarrollan los síntomas es muy variable. La meningitis / septicemia en bebés pequeños es especialmente difícil de identificar para los padres y para que los médicos la diagnostiquen. Aproximadamente la mitad de todos los niños son enviados a casa por el médico que los evalúa, ya que los síntomas de meningitis / septicemia son comunes a muchas enfermedades menores comunes. Por encima de todo, confíe en su intuición: si no está contento o si alguien está empeorando, busque atención médica rápidamente. Esta es una carrera contra el tiempo. El consejo detallado sobre los síntomas está disponible en http://www.meningitis.org/symptoms
A los bebés nacidos en la República de Irlanda desde octubre de 2016 ahora se les ofrece la vacuna.
