A recent study in the UK shows that children who are exposed to “second-hand smoke†environments significantly increase the risk of meningitis, and researchers urge people to avoid smoking around their children. Institutional researchers such as the University of Nottingham in the UK reported in the new issue of BMC Public Health that they have reviewed more than a dozen related studies in order to explore the relationship between passive smoking and invasive meningococcal disease. Children under the age of 5 who are often exposed to “secondhand smoke†are at least twice as likely to develop invasive meningococcal disease. In addition, if the mother smoked during pregnancy, the child is at higher risk of developing invasive meningococcal disease, more than three times the normal situation. According to reports, invasive meningococcal disease is an important cause of bacterial meningitis. This disease occurs mostly in adolescents and infants. About one in 20 patients will die, and about one in six patients will be cured. It also leaves behind the sequelae of nervous system and behavioral disorders. Researcher Rachel Murray said that although the specific mechanism of increased risk of meningitis caused by passive smoking is not fully understood, this study shows that there is a correlation between the two, so it is best to avoid at home or other Smoking in the presence of a child. Murray estimates that due to the influence of “secondhand smokeâ€, there will be an additional 630 cases of invasive meningococcal disease in the UK each year.
