Charlotte Cleverley-Bisman
Charlotte Lucy Cleverley-Bisman (born 24 November 2003 on Waiheke Island) became famous as the face of a New Zealand campaign to encourage vaccination against meningococcal disease after contracting and surviving the disease. She was nicknamed "Miraculous Baby Charlotte" by her fellow New Zealanders as a result of making headlines worldwide after recuperating from a series of life-threatening complications. She is believed to be the smallest baby to have survived such a severe infection and the subsequent quadruple amputations.〔
Cleverley-Bisman is the daughter of Pam Cleverley and Perry Bisman.
== Meningococcal disease in New Zealand ==
In 2004, New Zealand was in the thirteenth year of an epidemic of meningococcal disease, a bacterial infection which can cause meningitis and blood poisoning. Most Western countries have fewer than three cases for every 100,000 people each year, with New Zealand averaging 1.5 before the epidemic started in 1991; in 2001, the worst year of the epidemic in New Zealand, the rate hit 17. 5400 New Zealanders had caught the disease, 220 had died, and 1080 had suffered serious disabilities, such as limb amputations or brain damage. Eight out of 10 victims were under 20 and half were under 5 years of age. The internationally low proportion of deaths from the disease had been credited to wide publicity of the disease and its symptoms. In June 2004, Charlotte Cleverley-Bisman became the face of the epidemic.
