Meningitis, also called spinal meningitis, is an infection of the spinal cord fluid and fluid surrounding the brain. This infection may be caused by a virus or bacteria and is typically diagnosed by doing cultures of the spinal fluid. Although viral and bacterial meningitis may have similar symptoms initially, most patients with viral meningitis have less severe symptoms and recover on their own. Unlike viral meningitis, patients with bacterial meningitis can have severe symptoms, possibly with lifelong consequences. Because early symptoms may be similar, it is important to be checked by a health care provider as soon as possible. (more)
Ritenour Building, which has housed all aspects of Penn State University Park's University Health Services as well as Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), is nearly 80 years old. In that time its name has changed twice -- it was once known as the Potato Grower's Hospital, thanks to the association that raised funds to construct the facility; then, after two wings were added onto the original structure in the 1950s, the building was renamed to honor physician Joseph Ritenour, a former director of UHS. Since that time, the building has remained relatively unchanged. The services it houses, however, have changed dramatically. (more)
