    17 states have reported illnesses due to this Salmonella outbreak. This is an awfully high number of states. The article shows ways to prevent salmonella, but many people fail to comply with the standard washing procedures.

    The Ottawa Hospital has been severely criticized in a report about practices and hygiene. The report was commissioned following a high number of Clostridium difficile cases over a two year period. This is especially relevant to me because it encompasses both CLS and microbiology.

    London could be hit by a "very large outbreak" of measles because so few young people are vaccinated, according to the country's immunisation chief. In some of the capital's boroughs, more than half of children in some age groups have not been fully vaccinated against the disease.

    Researchers have been able to reconstruct the genome sequence of a bacterial strain which bypasses the need for growing bacteria in the lab. This could stop an outbreak in its tracks due to the increased speed of identifying the bacteria.

    This puts a whole new light on 'spirit'!!! Sterilization is SO important!!! Other articles are saying that this competition and the arena -- "It's probably the best-scrubbed place in the county," she added. Cheerleading camps or competitions have been the source of previous outbreaks, including a 2002 E. coli O157:H7 outbreak in Eastern Washington. This is crazy!!! Person to person contact is inevitable in cheerleading camps and competition. Proves how important sterilization and handwashing is!!!

    This is so scary. I am always wary when China says, "Don't worry everything is under control". China was criticized during the SARS outbreak for failing to release information. If bird flu ever gains the ability to spread from human to human, we have a very bad situation.

  • Five patients have died.

      As of 2012-10-15, 203 cases, 15 deaths.
  • The incubation period of fungal meningitis may be as long as four weeks.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Surprisingly, the FDA says it has no idea how many doses of the tainted medicine have been shipped out.
  • methylprednisolone
  • Compounding pharmacies, which provide up to 10 percent of U.S. pharmaceuticals, are more loosely regulated than traditional drug companies. As is common, NECC is licensed by a state pharmacy board, which doesn't have the staff to conduct regular inspections. The company has been cited for contamination problems in the past, as the Boston Globe reports.
  • Dr. April Pettit
  • People don't get Apergillus infections unless they have severely compromised immunity.
  • Pettit learned the man had gotten a spinal injection a couple of weeks earlier. She put two and two together and notified state health authorities.
  • There's one lucky aspect of this disaster: Unlike more common forms of meningitis, this type can't be passed from person to person.
