E. meningoseptica predominantly causes outbreaks of meningitis in premature newborns and infants in neonatal intensive care units of underdeveloped countries.
Some of the outbreaks have been linked to sources like contaminated lipid stock bottles, contaminated venous catheter lines and nutritional solution, and tap water. The bacterium is also a rare cause of nosocomial pneumonia, endocarditis, postoperative bacteremia, and meningitis in immunocompromised adults. Only recently has it also been found to cause soft tissue infection and sepsis in the immunocompetent[9] and in a case of a fatal necrotizing fasciitis in a diabetic patient.[10]
48 cases of Elizabethkingia infection resulting in 17 fatalities were reported in Wisconsin over a 5-month period beginning in November 2015.[11]
A year or so ago, I went to a town hall meeting held by Senator Vitter. I asked him about the diseases the immigrants were bringing into the country. He said that I was right, that he had issued a statement regarding public health, but he seemed to avoid using the word “disease”.
Has anyone ever heard an elected official complain about diseases the immigrants are bringing in? Some new diseases and some once eradicated from this country.
BINGO
