What is bacterial meningitis?
Bacterial meningitis is a dangerous inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.
It is caused by various bacteria, such as Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Its symptoms include high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, nausea, and in some cases confusion or epileptic seizures.
The disease can be fatal if not treated quickly and aggressively with antibiotics.
Furthermore, it can be spread through saliva or respiratory secretions, increasing the risk of infection in people who have had close contact with the affected person./ VoxNews
