Apologies that there has been no blog for a few weeks but I have been trekking in Iceland… I’ve thawed out so normal service can now resume.
Back in 1992 when I went to medical school there were a couple of diseases that used to terrify me above all others. No, I wasn’t paranoid! My fear was based on the fact that certain bacterial infections seemed to strike without warning, were easy to miss, and would quickly kill the young children who acquired them. Epiglottitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) was one, the other was meningococcal sepsis caused by Neisseria meningitidis.
