Statistics by Country for Viral meningitis
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Viral meningitis:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Viral meningitis are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Viral meningitis statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Viral meningitis in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Viral meningitis: The word 'prevalence' of Viral meningitis usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Viral meningitis at any given time (i.e. people with Viral meningitis). The term 'incidence' of Viral meningitis means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Viral meningitis diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Viral meningitis). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
Incidence (annual) of Viral meningitis: 8,932 new cases in America 1995 (Meningitis Foundation of America, CDC, 1994)
Incidence Rate for Viral meningitis: approx 1 in 30,452 or 0.00% or 8,932 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Viral meningitis to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Viral meningitis to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Viral meningitis are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Viral meningitis in any region:
