The Screen Guide

Meningococcal disease remains one of the last truly frightening bacterial illnesses that can be fatal despite advances in medical and intensive care. But three-quarters of all deaths could have been prevented with earlier detection and treatment. This powerful one hour documentary looks at six families whose lives have been changed by this disease - and examines how critical hours and minutes can mean the difference between life and death. Public and professional ignorance has often been the cause of deaths which could have been prevented.
