In a 1998 review, the incidence of bladder injury during laparoscopic procedures ranged from 0.02% to 8.3%. It was more frequent in gynaecologic procedures, and intraoperative diagnosis was made only in 53% of cases.
In order to diagnose this disease, your child will have a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). This is done by inserting a needle in the lower back to get spinal fluid. The spinal fluid is sent to the laboratory to determine whether your child has meningitis and what type: bacterial or viral. How is meningitis treated? Your child will be isolated for at least 24 hours.
The incubation period of meningococcal disease is 3 to 4 days, with a range of 2 to 10 days. Meningococcal bacteria can make a person extremely ill by infecting the blood (septicemia) or by infecting the fluid of the spinal cord and around the brain (meningitis).eningitis can be caused by different serogroups of the meningococcal bacterium, by other bacteria such as Streptococcus and Haemophilus, as well as by viruses and fungi. Being vaccinated against Neisseria meningitidis or having had the disease will not protect you against meningitis from other bacteria or viruses.
