There has been a maintenance tag on the article for two years, and almost all of the sources are outdated, and in breach of WP:MEDDATE. Listing at WP:FARGIVEN. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 22:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
I have downgraded references to a fifth serotype. It appears to have arisen as an unconfirmed single occurrence about 10 years ago; current sources only list four serotypes. Bob ( talk) 17:42, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
I'll soon get to review these sections:
They currently read like a medical textbook - lots of very specific detail which someone a few years ago put a lot of effort into compiling. I hate to replace large chunks of another editor's work. I don't have access to some of the sources nor am I confident I would understand them well enough. But I think WP:TECHNICAL, WP:ORIGINAL, and WP:NOTTEXTBOOK apply and these sections should be updated, trimmed and simplified. Bob ( talk) 18:27, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
My husband and I have a very good friend down in the Dominican Republic, who lives there now from Nevada and he has contacted. Dinu has been hospitalized. We heard from him, and he has been extremely ill from this. I’ve never heard of it before. How do you prevent it if you wanted to go down to the DR and visit your friends and end up with something like this? 67.235.177.231 ( talk) 16:09, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
