Przepraszam: ta odpowiedz miala byc pierwotnie kompletnie odmienna od poprzedniej, ale potem uswiadomilem sobie, ze zamierzam podac nazwe konkretnej szczepionki, wiec zmienilem zdanie na powyzsze i dopiero po wyslaniu uswiadomilem sobie, ze naruszylem panujacy u nas dobry obyczaj nierozpychania sie jezeli ma sie niewiele do dodania w stosunku do poprzednika. Oczywiscie, ze zamiana vaccination na immunization, do ktorej przywyklem powinna byc ew. zasugerowana w agree/neutral powyzej. Zdrowy rozsadek pytajacego nakazuje niepremiowac rozpychajacych sie.

Ale skoro juz tu jestem, to wyjasniam, ze moja propozycja bierze sie z tego, ze w znanej mi ksiazeczce - nazwijmy to - zdrowia z USA mowa jest o Immunizations and Tests Schedule and Records, po czym idzie \"vaccine type\" itd.

Hib vaccination (bacterial meningitis)


Explanation:
Sorry, zwykle posluzylabym sie agree/disagree, ale troche to wyjasnienie przydlugie. W angielskiej terminologii medycznej w przypadku zapalenia opon mozgowych konieczne jest rozroznienie pomiedzy viral a bacterial.

Viral meningitis nie jest tak grozne, jak bacterial meningitis. Hib meningitis spowodowane jest bakteria "Haemophilus influenzae type B", por:

http://www.meningitis.ca/hibmeningitis.html
"Hib is an term for a bacteria (a kind of germ) called Haemophilus influenzae type b. Before 1992, Hib was the most common cause of bacterial meningitis."

http://www.rds-online.org.uk/milestones/hibmen.html
"Meningitis means swelling of the meninges, membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. It is caused by infection with one of several types of bacteria or virus, the bacterial forms being most serious.
Vaccine for Hib meningitis
Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) is another bacterial form of meningitis. In October 1992, vaccination against infection by the Hib bacterium, then a major cause of meningitis in young children, was included in the childhood immunisation programme in Britain."

http://www.medinfo.co.uk/conditions/meningitis.html
"Meningitis is an infection of the covering layers of the brain (meninges). Meningitis can be caused by various sorts of infection, with a virus, with a bacterium, and even with fungi.
Viral meningitis is usually considered to be benign, and is a fairly common complication of virus infections. There is no specific treatment.
The three main causes of bacterial meningitis have been:
Haemophilus Influenzae type b (Hib),
Meningococcus, and
Pneumococcus.
In Britain, the introduction of a Hib vaccination has led to a virtual eradication of Hib meningitis. The other two are left as the major causes of bacterial meningitis."
