governmental or clinical services.

younger this year (7 deaths) out of 84,000 children. Last year only 4 cases occurred, and
no other region has a higher-than-expected rate. The relative frequency of meningitis in
this region can best be described as:
A. Endemic
B. Epidemic
C. Pandemic
D. Sporadic
Ansẉer:
B. Epidemic
Rationale:
An epidemic is an increase in disease occurrence above the expected baseline in a
defined area. The jump from 4 to 39 cases in one region clearly exceeds the expected
level.
