Published on Oct 4, 2016

Meningitis is a serious disease that requires immediate medical attention. Not only is it highly contagious and potentially fatal, but it can also cause other complications such as pneumonia, sinus and ear infections. Bacterial meningitis can be transferred through contact, coughing sharing drinks. However, the viral form is most common. Regular immunization for children under two is stressed, with additional doses up until the age of five, depending upon the child’s risk of pneumococcal disease. Understanding the differences between bacterial and viral forms of the disease is important, as it will determine what treatment options will be effective.
