Is Meningitis life threatening?
The doctor said my mum has Meningitis. :(
Answers:
It can be, depending on the type of meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is the most serious and can be fatal or result in brain damage. Viral usually resolves without treatment and requires supportive care only. Fungi, toxins and systemic disease can also cause meningitis. They are treated along with the cause.
