"There was initially some debate as to whether it was viral or bacterial bacterial meningitis," said Doctor Linda Panaro of the Durham Regional Health Department. "But it has now been confirmed as viral." "The child's illness has nothing to do with the two cases of meningococcal meningococcal disease we've had," she added. "It's independent." Over the Thanksgiving week end, a 16-year-old youth died of meningococcal meningococcal disease. A three-ycar- old girl from Lockhart Public School is also recovering from the same disease. While bacterial meningitis requires requires antibiotic treatment, viral meningitis will get better on its own. The girl at Lord Elgin is the fourth reported case of viral meningitis meningitis in the Bowmanville area this fall. Other cases were reported at Wa- vcrley Public School, Knox Christian Christian School, and Maple Grove Public Public School in students aged 4,6, and 7. "There has been no spreading within the schools," Panaro insists. Symptoms to watch for arc stiff neck, possible nausea or vomiting, sudden fever and rash. Anyone with such symptoms is advised to sec their physician at once. Meningitis can be spread through sharing eating or drinking utensils, coughing or sneezing or French kissing. r Anti-Pornography Course Comes to Courtice ... Page 2 Candidates Announce Intentions ...
