Meningitis Nursing Care Overview

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Viral meningitis is usually mild and caused by viruses. Bacterial meningitis is very serious and requires antibiotic treatment. Symptoms can include fever, headache, and neck stiffness. Diagnosis involves physical exam, lab tests of spinal fluid, and diagnostic imaging. Treatment depends on the cause but may include antiviral or antibiotic drugs.
