Summary of meningitis

My group first read about Sue and all of her friends and all the things they did like going to the infirmary and doing different things like sharing drinks and snacks and different things like that.  Then we ended up doing a spinal tap and testing in the ELISA test and ended up finding out that she was the starter of the outbreak and it spread to her friends.  The test showed that she did have meningitis.  People started showing symptoms like headache, soreness in the body, fever, and some of them even had a fever.  People could've spreaded the disease because they were in close quarters like dorms, some even shared snacks and drinks together.  All the symptoms showed that they all had meningitis some wasn't as strong as others.  I ended up figuring out that they should keep the sick ones in a room or a dorm room and keep the non sick ones out and keep them in their for at least a week, give them plenty of liquids, and give them antibiotics from the infirmary.  Hopefully they will get better by then. 

meningitis

Bacterial meningitis could be a very horrible disease if not treated correctly and if it stayed to long in the body.  Meningitis is a disease of the spinal cord and the brain that is where a protective membrane around the spinal cord and the brain called the meningies. The patients have many symptoms for meningitis.  Some of the symptoms that are found in the people would be headache, pain everywhere on the body, and high fever.  Some of the things that would have the symptoms moved around would be people living in close quarters such as dorms.  Even when they share everything like drinks and food disease could be moved really easy through that stuff. 

Antibodies and Antigens

First,  the body works awesome when it comes to antigens and antibodies.  The body works by first an antigen has to come into the body and then the immune system does it job by building an antibody to fight off the antigen.  Then when it is built it attacks the antigen.  The B lymphocytes are stored in the bone marrow which is used in the process of the making of the antibody to kill the antigen.  Afterwards, the B lymphocytes stay around and protect against anymore of the antigen that comes in and if there is anymore then it will make more antibodies.
