Headaches and Fevers |

Headache and fever can be symptoms of meningitis. The word meningitis itself just means inflammation or infection of the tissue (called the meninges) and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Not all forms of meningitis are dangerous -- many common viruses, for example, can cause viral meningitis, which is unpleasant, but usually harmless. Bacterial meningitis, on the other hand, is a different matter; these infections can be fatal if the are not treated quickly with antibiotics. This is the kind of meningitis you hear about in the news, often striking several children in the same school.
