Viral (aseptic)

meningitis is a seasonal disease that usually peaks in August and September.

Approximately 175 cases of viral meningitis are reported each year in

Georgia.

To stop the

spread of the virus, state and local health officials are reinforcing

the hand washing message across Georgia through outreach to schools and

day care centers. Even though that outreach is focused on children, it

is important for adults to practice good hygiene as well.

For more information

on aseptic (viral) meningitis and proper hand washing, contact your local

health department or visit www.health.state.ga.us.
