Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) surrounding your brain and spinal cord.
Meningitis complications can be severe. The longer the disease progresses without treatment, the greater the risk of seizures and permanent neurological damage, including:
Hearing loss
Memory difficulty
Learning disabilities
Brain damage
Gait problems
Seizures
