Observations on vaccine therapy and out-vaccine therapy for epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis

Abstract

There is no well-collected material on the incidence of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis among children in the USSR. The most comprehensive monograph by Breitman is more than 20 years old. Judging by anecdotal evidence and the rather large number of papers on the subject, cases of the disease are widespread and frequent, and in recent years small epidemic outbreaks and sporadic cases have been occurring more and more frequently. Over a period of 30 years, according to Prof. Kisel, 80 cases of cerebrospinal meningitis have occurred in the former Olginsky Children's Hospital in Moscow. The clinic of infants of the 2nd M. G. W. (Frishman) counts 35 cases in a shorter period. Our material indicates a higher incidence of the disease in children specifically in recent years, with infants being affected more frequently.
