Show Notes
Meningitis: A Serious Infection of the Brain and Spinal Cord
Meningitis, a life-threatening infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, primarily affects babies, children, teens, and young adults. Bacterial meningitis, though rarer, is more dangerous than viral meningitis. It spreads through sneezing, coughing, or kissing, often from carriers who feel fine. Symptoms include sudden high fever, vomiting, severe headache, stiff neck, light sensitivity, drowsiness, and seizures. A rash may appear but is not always present. Vaccines offer protection, with babies receiving the MenB shot at eight, twelve, and eighteen months. If symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention.
