    Dear Dr Bradbury,
    Re: Ms Isabel Garcia, DOB: 01/01/1995

    I am writing to update you regarding Ms Garcia who was referred with suspected meningitis.
    Your further follow-up would be highly appreciated as her diagnosis is now confirmed.

    On 25/05/2015, Ms Garcia was presented with neck stiffness, headache photophobia as well as
    rash. On examination, bruising along with petechial rash was detected and signs of meningitis
    were positive; however, she was afebrile. Thus, dexamethasone followed by empirical
    antibiotics had been given before receiving results of lumber puncture and culture. According to
    the lumber puncture result, an elevated WBCs count together with high protein level was
    detected. On the other hand, glucose levels were low. Subsequently, microscopic examination
    and culture were done which came positive for Neisseria-meningitides. Therefore, she was
    commenced on benzyl penicillin which successfully improved her condition. Apart from that,
    the Department of Human Services was notified as well as her family immunization was
    insured.

    In view of the above, I would appreciate if you would advise Ms Garcia's family on seeking
    medical advice in case of any signs of an unexplained illness. Moreover, chemoprophylaxis for
    her close contacts is highly recommended. In case of any queries, please contact me.

    Yours sincerely,

    Doctor
