Meningitis can cause hearing loss or visual impairment, but permanent deafness or blindness is rare. Early diagnosis and treatment can help minimize the risk of these complications. It's important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect meningitis.

Meningitis (viral or bacterial) is infectious and can be highly contagious. Usually anyone in close contact with someone who gets bacterial meningitis will be given antibiotics as well.

There is really no difference between the symptoms of viral and bacterial meningitis. With both you will have fever, headache, stiff neck, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. However that being said bacterial comes on suddenly where viral can take a few days.

It is very rare to get the infection of the meninges, that is meningitis. Here the capillaries have no gap between them. That is called as blood brain barrier. But at times this barrier is broken and the bacteria do enter the meninges. There they multiply to give you bacterial meningitis. The most common bacteria are Menoingococcus, Pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae type B and Tuberculous bacteria.

Meninges consist of three layers. They are

1. The Dura mater

2. The Arachnoid mater

3. the Pia mater

Yes, they should because the immune system wouldn't be able to fight it off if they are not!

The intramuscular vaccine for poliomyelitis is inactived meaning it is not live the oral vaccine, now no longer used, was live. Go to the CDC.gov website to learn more about vaccines

Meningitis is acute inflammation of the meninges. These are otherwise known as the protective membranes covering the spinal cord and the brain.

If this initial infection is not properly treated, the organism will continue to multiply, find its way into the blood stream, and be delivered in sufficient quantities to invade past the blood brain barrier.

Yes. I recommend not taking any vaccines, because all of them have horrible side effects.

PS. I used to work for the government and they don't really care about how the side effects of these vaccines effect you.

Meningitis is spread through close contact, Kissing, coughing, sneezing etc. I have recently suffered from a form of meningitis, and I was told by the Doctors in hospital it is likely that I caught it from sharing a glass with someone carrying the bacteria and it entering my bloodstream through a cut in my lip. Here's a link with some more detailed information. Hope it answers your question =) http://www.meningitis.org/disease-info/whats-the-risk

It means an inflammation of the meninges. The meninges are the covering of the brain and spinal cord. They can swell and harm the cord and the brain. It is very serious. It can be caused by a bacteria or a virus.

Chickenpox is a viral illness caused by varicella zoster virus. It typically causes a rash of blisters, sores, and scabs over the whole body. Scarlet fever is a complication of infection with Group A beta streptococcus, a bacteria. It causes a very fine, sandpaper-like rash of bumps without blistering, sores, or scabs.

Cerebrospinal Fluid (or CSF) is the liquid that coats and moisturizes the brain and spinal column, keeping all neurological activity and communication moving smoothly. It also protects the brain and spine from damage by acting as a shock absorber. Finding a high level of proteins in this fluid is a sign that you may have Multiple Sclerosis. In order to test for MS, doctors will perform a spinal tap in order to extract the CSF from the spine. If the fluid comes back with high levels of protein, it means that the myelin sheaths protecting the nerve endings in the brain are being broken down and destroyed. This kind of myelin damage may mean MS is causing the white blood cells in the body to attack the central nervous system. Testing CSF cannot confirm an MS diagnosis by itself, but rather it is used with other MS tests to provide an overall picture for the patient and the doctor.

Meningitis is inflammation of the thin tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord, called the meningeal. There are several types of meningitis. The most common is viral meningitis, which occurs when a virus enters your body through the nose or mouth and moves to the brain. Bacterial meningitis is rare, but it can be deadly. It usually starts with bacteria that cause flu-like infections. It can cause a stroke, deafness and brain injuries. It can also damage other organs. Pneumococcal infections and meningococcal infections can cause bacterial meningitis.Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. The most common cause is a viral infection, but bacteria can also cause it. It can be mild or severe. Most cases are mild. If so, flu-like symptoms develop. You should take rest, drink plenty of fluids and take some pain medicine. The most serious cases need immediate treatment. The symptoms are: Severe headaches Sudden fever Drowsiness Vomiting Confusion Seizures

Hi, My cat was just diagnosed with meningitis and I was reassured that it was not transmissible to humans.

Meningitis is a word you might hear on the news. That's because there are sometimes outbreaks of meningitis at schools or colleges - and it can be a serious illness. But many people get better after they have meningitis

This is an inflammation of the meningeal lamina that surrounds the brain and the spine marrow. This is septic, which means "infected".
