Bacterial meningitis is a very dangerous illness. It can become straightaway fatal if its symptoms are not heeded through an immediate visit to a qualified doctor, proper and timely diagnosis, and treatment.

|
Meningitis poses danger to our life and so we must use vaccination to guard us from the possibility of it attacking us. Since it can still strike us we must know enough about it to take immediate treatment from a doctor.

You may be surprised to know that dogs can also become afflicted with meningitis. It affects the meninges (the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord) in dogs the same way as in humans by causing inflammation in them.

Meningitis starts with an infection that develops in the throat, nose, ear or lungs. The incubation period of the disease is short, ranging between one and five days, and the onset is sudden.
|
|
Viral meningitis is a viral infection that inflames the tissues surrounding both- the brain and the spinal cord. Though this infection can sort itself out over a period of time, it is still considered relatively serious.
|
|
Bacterial meningitis is an infectious disease that proliferates rapidly. It is a communicable disease that badly affects the resistance potential of individuals who live in close communities. Due to non-identification of close contacts of patients of meningitis for prophylaxis/vaccination until it is too late, the scourge has been able to affect large sections of the population.

|
The rates of incidence of the two potentially lethal bacterial strains of meningitis have been found to be consistently dropping over the past few years. This has been made possible only because of the aggressive and widespread implementation of the US and Canadian government's vaccination program.

Meningitis is nothing but the inflammation of the protective membrane. This protective membrane covers the central nervous system which is also known as meninges. There can be lot of causes that may lead to the meningitis.
|
|
Cryptococcal meningitis is a severe infection of the membranes of the brain and the spinal cord. It can be an extremely debilitating and painful condition and can cause damage to the brain.
|
|
Meningitis is caused as a result of bacterial or viral infection. This is a serious problem that causes inflammation of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord.
|
|
In simple words, meningitis refers to the infection of the membranes and the fluid that surrounds the spinal cord. If not treated on time, this disease can prove to be quite fatal. There are several bacteria and virus that are responsible for causing meningitis.
