Annelotte was 24 toen zij zich na een festival niet zo lekker voelde. Na een aantal dagen zich lamlendig te voelen maakte ze een afspraak bij de huisarts, voorhoofdsholte ontsteking werd er gezegd… of was het een voorbode voor iets veel gevaarlijkers? In het ziekenhuis constateren de artsen: Meningitis of ook wel hersenvliesontsteking. Vanaf dat moment gaat het van kwaad tot erger met een fatale afloop. Nicolette vertelt in deze aflevering het verhaal van haar dochter én over de gevaren van meningitis.

In this episode of FACTSinnated, we're joined by Patti Wukovits, nurse and founder of the Kimberly Coffey Foundation and co-founder of the American Society for Meningitis Prevention, who turned personal tragedy into national advocacy for meningitis prevention. Patti shares her journey from losing her 17-year-old daughter, Kimberly, to Meningitis B, to becoming a leading voice for adolescent vaccination. We talk about how meningococcal disease spreads, symptoms to watch for, and why comprehensive vaccination against all 5 types of meningococcal bacteria (ABCWY) most likely to cause meningococcal meningitis is is essential for protecting teens. Patti also addresses common misconceptions, gaps in awareness among parents and teens, and offers heartfelt advice for families who may still be hesitant. In addition, through the work of the Foundation, June has been declared ‘Meningitis B Awareness' month in New York state since 2015. Tune in to hear how Kimberly's legacy continues to save lives and what steps we can all take to stay informed and protected.Social channels:Instagram: http://instagram.com/asmp_org Twitter(X): http://twitter.com/asmp_org Facebook: http://facebook.com/americansocietyformeningitisprevention LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-society-for-meningitis-prevention Website links: ASMP: https://meningitisprevention.org/Kimberly Coffey Foundation: https://www.kimberlycoffeyfoundation.org/

Bacteria called group B Streptococcus (group B strep, GBS) commonly live in people's gastrointestinal and genital tracts. The gastrointestinal tract is the part of the body that digests food and includes the stomach and intestines. The genital tract is the part of the body involved in reproduction and includes the vagina in women. Most of the time the bacteria are not harmful and do not make people feel sick or have any symptoms. Sometimes the bacteria invade the body and cause certain infections, which are known as GBS disease. ​ GBS bacteria can cause many types of infections: Bacteremia (bloodstream infection) and sepsis (the body's extreme response to an infection) Bone and joint infections Meningitis (infection of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord) Pneumonia (lung infection) Skin and soft-tissue infections GBS most commonly causes bacteremia, sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis in newborns. It is very uncommon for GBS to cause meningitis in adults. (CDC)

STORIES OF RESILIENCE Meningitis Survivors and Advocates Share Their Journeys    Welcome to another special and poignant episode of the Destiny is Debatable podcast. As we acknowledge World Meningitis Day on October 5th, we are honored to present a collection of heartfelt stories from around the globe, shared by individuals whose lives have been profoundly affected by meningitis.   Christine Bennborn from Sweden recounts the harrowing experience of losing her son, Mathias, to meningitis and sepsis in 2019. Driven by this tragedy, Christine founded Meningokockfonden in Sweden, dedicating herself to spreading awareness and advocating for better vaccination policies.   From Georgia, Shaquille Hodge, who transformed his grief into action after his wife, Percilla, succumbed to meningitis while they were on vacation. Shaquille established the PAMAH Foundation, named in honor of his wife, to educate and raise awareness about this silent killer through car shows and scholarship programs.   Katie Thompson, a meningitis survivor from South Carolina, who faced excruciating pain and near-death but emerged as a passionate patient advocate. Katie's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder of the importance of vaccination and awareness.   Claytone Musungu from Kenya shares his journey of founding the Meningitis Information Foundation in Nairobi, Kenya after witnessing the devastating impact of meningitis on a close friend's family. Claytone's efforts to educate the public and work with the government aim to defeat meningitis by 2030.   Jayme Fahrer from New Jersey, who survived bacterial meningitis in 2009.

Part 2/2 - On March 19, 1969, thirty-eight-year-old Houston socialite Joan Robinson Hill died at Sharpstown General Hospital from what doctors at the time believed was flu-related symptoms. Hill's body was quickly taken to the mortuary and embalmed before an autopsy could be performed, violating Texas law and undermining any attempts determine the cause of Joan's death. Nevertheless, Joan's father, a wealthy oil tycoon, believed his daughter's death to be a homicide, used his influence to have her remains exhumed and had not one, but two additional autopsies performed to determine the cause of death. Despite conflicting reports from the pathologists regarding a cause of death, Joan's father was eventually successful in convincing the district attorney that her death was no accident, but was in fact murder committed by her husband, John Hill. After two unsuccessful attempts to convince a grand jury of John's guilt, the district attorney finally convinced a third grand jury that John Hill had intentionally contributed to Joan's death and he was charged with “murder by omission,” a first in the history of the Texas courts.John Hill was put on trial for the murder of his wife in the winter of 1971, but the jury would never get a chance to weigh in on his guilt or innocence. In September of 1972, after one mistrial and several delays leading up to a re-trial, John Hill was murdered by an intruder who'd broken into his home. Although investigators believed Hill's murder to have been a robbery gone wrong, many in Houston suspected Joan's father, believing his son-in-law had evaded justice, had paid to have John Hill killed, leaving the deaths of Joan and John Hill an enduring mystery.As always, thank you to the fantastic David White, of Bring Me the Axe Podcast, for research assistance ReferencesAssociated Press. 1971.
