It was diagnosed last week that a grade nine girl had viral meningitis, whereas the first case, a grade eleven boy involved bacterial men- ingitis. Gray explained that had the two been of the same type, it could have meant the disease was spreading and given rise to great concern. among health officials. Both students are now recovering. "Gray indicated her office had been inundated with calls from con- cerned parents. "1 can understand because it is such a frightening disease and it is very important to react quickly so - it can be treated in time,' she said. Meningitis is an infection of the membrains that cover the brain and spine and if left untreated can result in death in the matter of a day or two. In children under the age of five, the major cause of meningitis is a . @e 'Hearing | c Aid Centre ¢f Port Perry Dr E Mueller's Office - 24 Water St. S, Plaza, Port Perry, Ontario LOB INO bacterial infection called Haemophilus influenza type B. Gray says that recent Canadian studies estimate that 600 children under the age of five would contract this form of the disease in 1986. About 30 of them would die and 170 would be left permanently handicapped. ~ Meningitis can cause siezures, behavioral disorders, learning disabilities or mental retardation with blindness, loss of hearing and paralysis. On the brighter side, Gray n- dicated a new vaccine has been developed which will protect children under the age of five. It is called Haemophilus Polysaccharide Vaccine more.commonly known as HIP, and is availabl¥ from doctors in Durham, including Brooklin Medical Centre. Connaught Laboratories, who manufacture the vaccine, say it is among the safest in the world and has been administered to over four million children in the ats States. - Dennis J Hogan aun .
