Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. Meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges covering of the brain. There are many cause of it may be viral, bacteria, fungal and parasitic. Investigation can reveal the further etiological agents. Various etiological agent has various route of spread but the most common spreading method is via blood circulation. Meningitis is very dangerous and can cause death if seriously not treated. It can lead to unconsciousness to the infected person makes him eligible for ICU admission. You can assume that if the person is unconscious that the infection is very serious. Many of the person can recover from the infection. But some may not be recovered may lead to paralysis of the victim. But all in one, if the person is diagnosed with meningitis than immediate hospitalisation with the proper and good treatment can cure the victim. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
