In 1980, the city recorded 16 cases and in 1977 there were 35. Twenty-nine cases have been re ported so far this year, but doctors said 29 reported cases are not an epidemic. Six cases, including one death, were reported among sixth- graders at Dodson Elementary School. Houston Independent School District officials said Baylor College of Medicine doctors Thursday were testing the Dodson students, parents and teachers to determine whether there were additional cases. The disease is a bacterial infection of the brain and spinal covering cal led the meninges. Symptoms in clude high fever, mental confusion, stiff neck and vomiting. Dr. Ralph Feigin, chief of pediat rics at Texas Children’s Hospital, said some of the affected children do not have meningitis but have a blood infection with the same bacteria. Dr. Michael Say, HISD superin tendent for instruction and support services, said the outbreak at Dod son was unusual statistically. “This infection is usually not trans mitted through a school environ ment,” Say said. “Six cases at Dod son is somewhat unusual. There should not be cause for undue alarm.” Feigin said the disease usually is found at daycare centers or military installations. Other officials cautioned against panic, but Dr. J.T. Guehring, presi dent of the Harris County Medical Society’s pediatric unit, said parents should look for early signs. He said parents should not worry about runny noses but should take children with high fevers, bad headaches or stiff necks to a doctor.
