PERTH, Australia , 13 de mayo de 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Nuevas investigaciones presentadas en la Reunión Anual de la European Society of Paediatric Infectious Diseases (Sociedad Europea de Enfermedades Pediátricas Infecciosas, ESPID) en Tesalónica, Grecia, muestran que la mayoría de los padres (61%) encuestados en el marco de un estudio internacional de seis países no están conscientes de que las vacunas actuales no protegen a sus hijos de todas las formas de meningitis(1). Los datos de la encuesta de padres con niños menores de dos años también muestra que sólo el 16% de los padres encuestados sabe que los niños de menos de 12 meses corren el mayor riesgo de contraer la mortal enfermedad(1). La meningitis es una inflamación potencialmente mortal del cerebro y la médula espinal, que puede ser el resultado de un virus, una bacteria u otros microorganismos, y que se puede asociar con una infección de la sangre que tiene el potencial de amenazar la vida (sepsis) (2,3).
