6. Meningitis is an inflammation
of the membranes (meninges)
surrounding your brain and spinal
cord.

7. • Bacterial meningitis is the most serious type of meningitis. It can lead

meningitis
Pneumococcal meningitis is a serious disease caused by the
bacterium Streptococcus pneumonia in which the meninges (the
protective layers that cover the brain & spinal cord) become
inflamed.

10. WHAT IS
SEPSIS?
Sepsis is the body’s overwhelming and life threatening response to
infection which can cause tissue damage, organ failure and death.
Sepsis is DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE because it happens quickly and can be
confused with other conditions.
Sepsis is a medical emergency and is DEADLY when it’s not quickly
recognized and treated.

17. OTITIS MEDIA
Otitis media is inflammation located in the

18. What are the different types of otitis media?
Different types of otitis media include
the following:
• Acute otitis media (AOM).
• Otitis media with effusion (OME.)
• Chronic otitis media with effusion
(COME).

AOM accounts for more then 30 million visit to doctor each
year in the USA

5 out of 6 children experience
infection before the age of 3

23. Prevention & Control
Vaccination: Pneumococcal Vaccines
Maintaining Immuno Competency
To be cautious about cold & flu’s
No self medication
2 vaccines available for high risk individuals:
Capsular antigen vaccine older adults–effective 5 years
Conjugate vaccine for children 2 to 23 months
