The Treatment Of Meningitis By Meningococcal Vaccine

Abstract

Meningitis is an infection of the protective membrane (meninges) that covers the brain and spinal cord. Although it can affect anyone, it is most common in infants, toddlers, teenagers, and young adults. Meningitis can be a very serious condition if not treated quickly, and can lead to life-threatening sepsis and permanent brain and nerve damage.Meningitis symptoms begin suddenly. High fever (fever), nausea, headache, a rash that doesn't go away when you roll glass (but the rash doesn't always occur), stiff neck, aversion to bright lights, drowsiness or lethargy, and seizures. These symptoms can occur in any order. There are several vaccines that provide some protection against meningitis. Although various vaccines against meningococcal disease have been available for over 30 years, currently no vaccine protects against all five pathogenic serotypes. . (Ferri FF.,2022).
