Meningitis

The meninges are the lining membranes of the central nervous system (CNS), with protective functions against the brain and spinal cord.

The main causes of meningitis are viral, bacterial and fungal infections. Among the infectious meningitis, bacterial meningitis is the most dangerous: it can have permanent consequences, if not even cause death.
The symptoms are very broad and include: high fever, vomiting, confusion, irritability, stiff neck, headache, etc.
Although it is not always simple, the diagnosis must be immediate, because treatment must begin as soon as possible.
Therapy varies according to the triggering causes.
