If a glass tumbler is pressed firmly against a septicaemic rash, the rash will not fade and will show through the glass. If this happens, call a doctor immediately. The very mention of meningitis strikes fear into the heart of most parents in the UK. Such fears are understandable because meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord and can be a very serious illness. Although most people recover from the disease, some are left deaf or blind, and in others it may prove fatal. One of the biggest problems with meningitis is that it can develop very quickly. A child (or adult) can seem perfectly well and then, just a few hours later, be extremely ill with the disease. Another problem is that the symptoms can be difficult to distinguish from other, less serious infections.

Home Meningitis is a serious threat. Understand it better. And learn about avoiding infection. Meningitis can be prevented. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (also known as "meninges") covering the brain and spinal cord. The disease often develops suddenly, without warning, and can rapidly lead to very serious and long-term medical complications or even death. Unfortunately, in its early stages, meningitis can be quite difficult to spot. At first, the symptoms may seem similar to other common ailments like an influenza, an ear infection or even a hangover. This is why it is important to better understand meningitis and its many causes. If more people are able to recognize the characteristics of the disease, perhaps more individuals can be spared its very serious after effects. Since those most susceptible to meningitis - infants and young children - are the least capable of understanding it, parents should keep themselves informed in order to protect them. On these pages, you can not only learn about the many forms of infection but also the available vaccinations which can offer considerable protection and prevent meningitis in the first place.

REFINE YOUR SEARCH meningitis meningitis Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes (meninges) covering the brain and the spinal cord. Although the most common causes are infection (either bacterial or viral), chemical agents and even tumor cells may cause meningitis. Encephalitis and brain abscess can complicate infective meningitis. Major bacteria that cause meningitis are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, staphylococcus and meningococcus. Meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae is known to occur in outbreaks, examples include outbreaks in dorms and military outbreaks. Community acquired cases of meningitis are usually caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, seen in elderly patients. Listeria monocytogenes and Neisseria meningitis are also other causes of community acquired meningitis. On the other hand, viruses are the most common cause of aseptic meningitis. 20,000 to 25,000 cases of bacterial meningitis are seen in the United States every year. Mostly adults are infected, where it can be community acquired or nosocomial. Vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae has reduced the incidence in children. The classical symptoms of meningitis are headache, neck stiffness and photophobia (the trio are called "meningism"). An altered level of consciousness or other neurological deficits may be present depending on the severity of the disease. A lumbar puncture to obtain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is usually indicated to determine the cause and direct appropriate treatment.
