Bacterial Meningitis; Transmission, Symptoms, Treatment & Vaccine

Bacterial meningitis treatment

The main treatment for bacterial meningitis is antibiotics, preferably the ones that specifically target the type of bacteria you have. We can avoid all of this by preventing the disease from occurring in the first place. The cost of treating financially and physically on any patient is huge, with a high risk of failing despite all the efforts. All of this leads us to doing our best to prevent this disease.

As high as 10 percent of people who get infected by bacterial meningitis don’t survive. The disease is not only fatal to the individual it infects, but the risk of spreading makes prevention an essential step for any country, especially because the most affected age group are our babies and infants. Complications of meningitis are worth mentioning as well, because even those who survive from this devastating infection can still live very hard life afterward.
