It can lead to brain damage, disability, and death. It is most commonin infants and in people with certain medical conditions. College freshmen, particularly those who live in dorms, have amodestly increased risk of getting the disease. Common symptoms of meningitis include stiff neck, headache, fever,sensitivity to light, sleepiness, confusion, and seizures. It can be treated with antibiotics, but treatment must be startedearly. Despite treatment, 10-15% of people who get the disease die from it. Another 10-20% suffer long-termconsequences.A meningococcal vaccine is available from your doctor or health clinics. It protects against four of the five most commontypes of this disease. Vaccine protection lasts 3-5 years and can prevent 50%-70% of cases on college campuses.Meningococcal vaccine may cause reactions such as pain or fever. Discuss contraindications and rare but serious sideeffects with your healthcare provider. For further information contact your school nurse or healthcare provider.

It can be caused by viruses, parasites,fungi, and bacteria. Viral meningitis is most common and the least serious. Bacterial meningitis is the mostcommon form of serious bacterial infection with the potential for serious, long-term complications. It is anuncommon disease, but requires urgent treatment with antibiotics to prevent permanent damage or death.What are the symptoms?Someone with meningitis will become very ill. The illness may develop over one or two days, but it can also rapidlyprogress in a matter of hours. Not everyone with meningitis will have the same symptoms.Children (over 1 year old) and adults with meningitis may have a severe headache, high temperature, vomiting,sensitivity to bright lights, neck stiffness or joint pains, and drowsiness or confusion.
