Disease detectives with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating a cluster of rare and serious brain abscesses in kids in and around Las Vegas, Nevada, and doctors from other parts of the country say they may be seeing a rise in cases, too.
In 2022, the number of brain abscesses in kids tripled in Nevada, rising from an average of four to five a year to 18.
“In my 20 years’ experience, I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Dr. Taryn Bragg, an associate professor at the University of Utah who treated the cases.
Pediatric neurosurgeons like Bragg are rare. She is the only one for the entire state of Nevada, and because she treated all the cases, she was the first to notice the pattern and to alert local public health officials.
“After March of 2022, there was just a huge increase,” in brain abscesses, Bragg said. “I was seeing large numbers of cases and that’s unusual.”
“And the similarities in terms of the presentation of cases was striking,” Bragg said.
In almost every case, kids would get a common childhood complaint, such as an earache or a sinus infection, with a headache and fever, but within about a week, Bragg says, it would become clear that something more serious was going on.

Any nuke tests in that area?
Gee...wonder what that could be?
Paging Dr Ben Carson.
(Parasites?)
Experimental mRNA Gene Therapy
Probably bad batch of the c19 crap shot up.
Were they vaxed?
Where were these kids born?
I’d suggest that southern border with near 6,000,000 illegals? Merely a suggestion. I’d hate to thing DC didn’t have the border under control. Who can’t believe Mayorkas and of course the CDC?
Vaccine lipids crossing the blood brain barrier and causing inflammation?
bkmk
Also seeing a significant uptick in serious Strep-A infections in kids in Pennsylvania...also in the same vaxxed + boo$ted timeframe.
If this had happened during the Trump administration, a way would instantly be found to blame this directly and personally on Donald Trump.
The Doctor who noticed the cluster is from Las Vegas area.
The link reported that doctors thought of many factors, even for history of COVID 19 infection.I don’t they looked at social behaviour...like maybe, drinking pond water, or swimming in filthy water, or even COVID vaccines. Seems like they are rounding up the usual suspects.....maybe resistant org....or temporary immunosuppression...poor kids nowadays...
They’re trying to do that NOW!
Lake Mead has been siphoned down to a puddle and they are sucking up the dregs to use as drinking water. I would conjecture that there may be higher concentrations of parasites and some of the water is not being filtered completely.
Wikpedia notes a number of reasons for brain abcesses. Infections can arise from dental: dental surgery, head trauma, local infections, congenital heart disease, and weakened immune systems.
The article says that from 2015 until 2019, it was steady at about four cases per year. Then it dipped to fewer in the 2020-21 period. Then spiking at around 16 or more in tge 2022.
The article points out that the pandemic kept kids at home and may be tge reason for the reduced cases. Then suggests the reopening of schools may have brought about the spike.
Maybe. But I would expect the number to return to their previous levels in that case. We know that Trump secured the border and governments across America implemented lock down procedures that closed schools. Then, after Biden took office, their was a surge in in covid vaccinations, reopening of schools, and the opening of the border.
So I wonder if perhaps kids who came through our porous border, got covid shots (and perhaps the normal rounds of childhood vaccinations) to go to school, might be a big part of the cases in the spike.
974 nuclear detonations.
But it's been quite a while since the last one...
Desert rat poop. It’s always desert rat poop.
