Prevention: There are two approved methods of malaria prevention, which usually targets the vector-mosquito:
-use of treated mosquito nets
-Spraying using insecticides
Treatment: The most effective treatment of malaria is use of artemisinin based drugs such as artemether-lumefantrine.
Meningitis
Is a disease caused when there is inflammation of the brain meninges. Meningoccocal meningitis is menigitis caused by microscopic bacteria such as Nesseria meningitis.
Epidemiology: a disease that is prevalent in the African countries. Is a severe infection that if left untreated has resulted to the death of thousands.
Treatment: Appropriate treatments include antibiotics such as penicillins, chloramphenical and chephalosporins such as ceftriaxone.
