Use this website to follow the epidemiology of gonorrhea and syphilis (case rates, status, current outbreaks). c. http://www.musa.org/men_coll.html or http://www.acha.org/projects_programs/men.cfm You be the detective. Go to these or other websites to research the link between increased risk for meningococcal meningitis and college students or military personnel. Write a summary of your findings. |
