MENINGITIS IS NOW IN LAGOS...

Following the outbreak of Cerebro Spinal Meningitis, CSM, two persons were yesterday confirmed dead by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), just as the death toll increased to 438 across 19 states.


It will be recalled that three days ago, the death toll from the CSM outbreak across 16 states was 336 with 146 laboratory-confirmed. The death toll was contained in a statistics released by NCDC, stating that of the 19 states, Zamfara State has recorded the highest number of death since the disease broke out in Nigeria.

The statistics further revealed that the number of suspected cases three days ago has risen from 2,997 to 3,959. NCDC noted that Lagos has joined the league of CSM affected states, saying the outbreak was recorded in a local government but did not reveal the council.

    1. The way to reduce onward transmission and stop the outbreak is to identify all contacts of people infected with meningitis I.e. Anyone who has had prolonged household type contact in the 7days prior to illness onset. All these contacts need to be given antibiotic prophylaxis. I suspect contact tracing has failed so far, hence the reason why it's spreading rapidly. God help Nigeria.
