IMENINGITIS & MENINGITIS B
Via mind jog from Reborn's comment on 'I Lived'Brock, do you have any suspicion of where you might have contractedthe meningitis? A woman who lived next door to my sister had not been seen in a few days so a welfare check was made and she was found dead from bacterial meningitis. My sister could not find out where she contracted the meningitis. The woman was twenty-seven.
Although it is uncommon, meningitis B (MenB) is a serious infection. It is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis group B, which can cause an infection of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It can also cause septicemia, a serious infection of the bloodstream.
Although most people recover, even with appropriate treatment, up to 1 in 10 patients will die, sometimes within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms.
