- Abstract
The article summarizes the investigations conducted on the occurrence of meningitis in post-partum women in New York and Ohio following myelography procedures. The women in New York received combined spinal-epidural anesthesia from the same anesthesiologist and delivered health babies, while the women in Ohio received spinal anesthesia only. Several hours after the initiation of anesthesia, the women complained of symptoms of meningitis, such as headache, back pain and nausea. It also notes that the cases describe two clusters of meningitis.
