Meningitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening infection that affects the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. Meningitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites, and can lead to symptoms such as fever, headache, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, confusion, and seizures. The infection can spread quickly and cause inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, leading to neurological damage and even death.
Treatment typically involves hospitalization and administration of antibiotics or antiviral medications, as well as supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Vaccines are also available to prevent certain types of bacterial meningitis. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to improve outcomes and reduce the risk of serious complications.
