Answer 1

1. A . Meningitis .

The symptom of meningitis are sensitivity to light , nausea and headaches .

Inflammation of brain and spinal cord membranes, typically caused by an infection.

2 .C .Treatment of sepsis has changed and improved over​ time, but the definition of the condition has remained relatively unchanged.

it is urgent that the pediatric community collaborates across the globe to address the need for meaningful, pertinent and harmonized sepsis criteria that can be applied to children in different settings, including in- and outside intensive care, both in high-income countries and LMIC. This will allow the rigorous evaluation of the impact of sepsis bundles. Robust criteria will facilitate design and recruitment into novel trials to improve the evidence for currently recommended treatments to result in improved outcomes for children with sepsis.
